Barry Yourgrau And Other American Cellphone Writers

I keep saying it, and every day I'm seeing more examples. The Internet is quickly filling up with bright, hungry writers who are setting the standard for cellphone writing. You should be one of them.

Here are three writers I discovered in the last week, people who can inspire you to try using your cellphone and videocamera as writing tools.

I was reading Galleycat when I spotted Barry Yourgrau (that's his picture) and his mad collection of multimedia stories. He wrote a series of short shorts intended to be read on cellphones and plays with web video writing as well.

Earlier this week, journalist Sarah Meyers stopped by our website. Check out her Consumer Electronics Show coverage for tips on live video and breaking tech news. 

Finally, smojo (a writer with Twitter and webvideo on his site) reminded us about the future implications of all this tech. "Once the picture quality is a little better I can imagine reporters using this kind of technology to go into disaster zones. The news van with the giant satellite tower will no longer be needed."

Anybody else have some bright ideas?
