The annual Davos World Economic Forum has just become a hotbed of mobile web videos, a virtual labratory for writers to study.

At Davos, Jeff Jarvis is running with a crowd of journalists who are all using mobile technology to capture the event. It's a historic moment for journalism, undoubtedly the most mobile-tech-covered event ever.

You should click on every link I painstakingly added to his quote--it's a Who's Who of Moblile Journalism. Check out his enthusiastic coverage:

"Robert Scoble is broadcasting live from his mobile phone, as Jason Calacanis did at DLD. Loic LeMeur is making videos all over for Seesmic (with a bigger camera). I’m playing with the Reuters/Nokia mojo cameraphone (see the videos below). The YouTube Davos Conversation booth is recording the machers on video with tiny cameras."

As a side note, I just started using one of those Flip Video cameras that Jarvis is using at Davos. You don't need to format or anything--the video comes out as an MP4 that can play on iPods, iPhones, cellphones or whatever mobile media you want to use. I'll upload some sample videos soon.
