FrameDrops: a mobile VideoBlog for workgroups and virtual communities

In this paper FrameDrops is presented. FrameDrops is a mobile VideoBlog—it allows users to capture videos and pictures on the move with modern mobile phones, and to send these data with a comment and with information on the current geographical position to a FrameDrops server. FrameDrops servers automatically insert the data in a repository, and generate integrated interactive Web pages. FrameDrops can be used for various purposes where users want to easily capture information in-situ and share it with others.
