The Experiment: Messing around with the app

It's been a minute since I've played with the iPhone app, so I thought I'd give it another shot. 

So far, it's way simple, almost like composing an email or text. I can add a photo or play with bold and italics but that's all that's different, really. I'll mess around with the labels and stuff, but I don't see that there's too much to explore with the app.

[edited to add] Yeah, this is pretty much like an unlimited character version of twitter. Here's my location, a selfie, and I can say all I want about it. I can save as a draft or publish later, so I do like the idea of using this to make notes on the go about things I wanna blog about later, but that's about it. 

The Experiment: Mobile Apps

Yesterday, I was out and about all day, so I had to rely completely on my mobile apps to keep up with the experiment.

I can't say I was too impressed with Bloggers.

It stayed true to the simplified format that won me over before, but the app is too simple. As far as I could tell, all you can do from it is read posts and write posts. I'd not a bad app, exactly, but I didn't feel like I was really using a mobile extension of Blogger. It was more for like, I don't, emergency blogging? Like you're out and about and simply have to post this photo or this comment - much more like Twitter for your blog, in my opinion. I wanted my stats, mostly (oh vanity) but aside from that, the four large icons that are my only choices just didn't seem like enough.

This round goes to Word Press, Blogger. Sorry.

[edit to add: I'm using an iPhone 4, if anyone was curious.]
