Via Heather Green at BusinessWeek, YouTube has announced that users can now upload video from their mobile devices.   This sounds like a very good move.  We'll see if it turns into a citizen journalism type thing, documentation like Peter Gabriel's Witness or just more trash like so much of YouTube.  The technology has a lot of potential though.  Imagine how fast video can spread now: shoot and upload from your phone, supporters grab the code snippet to display your video on their website and it goes from there.  A lot of potential.

I always scan the feed for BlogCarnival.com for interesting blog carnivals (a summarized gathering of posts from different blogs on a shared topic and hosted on a different blog each session).   I thought readers here might appreciate today's Carnival of Mobilists - bloggers writing on various developments in the mobil arena.  Some interesting looking stuff there, like an overview of the Japanese mobile market.  I recently wrote a post off-site on how to find good blogs on almost any topic and I definitely put checking the carnivals on the list.

UC Irvine informatics researcher Bill Tomlinson has set up a web site called GreenScanner.net where users can search for product reviews by UPC.  Intended to primarily cover environmental impacts, the site really shows any reviews posted by users.  Easy access by mobile devices make this a simple but workable project I think.  Check out this sample search.  The limitations are obvious, but so is the potential in my mind.  Press release.

Yahoo! just announced a new partnership with Helio, a 3G phone service created by South Korea's SK Telecom and EarthLink, to offer Helio users super-easy access to a wide variety of Yahoo! services.  Helio will be launched in the US this spring.  Mail, messenger, search, reviews and more will be offered.  Looks pretty interesting.  CNet had interesting coverage this morning.  Helio also advertises integration with MySpace.
