Splashblog bites the dust

August 12, 2007

As a regular Splashblog user, I was disappointed to receive an email today from them saying that the service will be terminated in early September. It seems that having acquired Splashdata last year, Six Apart now want to kill off Splashblog and shift that community over to Vox.

I use Splashblog on my Windows Smartphone, but the mobile client started out as a Palm application and so the news of Splashblog’s passing has, for once, united Palm and Windows Mobile users who are equally sad to see the end of such a great service.

So, where now for mobile photoblogging? I keep a few photos online at Sharpcast, because the client app makes uploading and synching a) as easy as pie and b) slicker than Flickr (fancy a new tagline, Sharpcast?). Sharpcast have released a mobile client, but I haven’t played with it yet. With Splashblog closing down, I guess that’s the obvious choice.

What do you use for moblogging?
