Blogging for birds
Pigeons are going to start blogging. According to the New Scientist, 20 of the flying rats are to be equipped with mobile phones and cameras then released into the skies of San Jose, California, where they'll monitor pollution levels and send their reports as text messages to a live blog. A mobile phone and GPS receiver will be worn in a pigeon-sized backpack, while cameras worn around the birds' necks will allow them to take aeriel photos.

Ooh, it'll be like Scoble but with content!
ha :) I was thinking it'd be a bit like LiveJournal.
Only if they choose depressed birds.
I don't suppose any of them will be in fantastic spirits, what with being weighed down with a backpack full of electronic equipment and a camera around their neck.
