Blog and Moblog - Differentiated By "Time"

I was listening to the mobile blogging session from BloggerCon III on mp3 earlier this evening. One participant said at the end that what makes moblog unique is its real-time characteristic. Moblog is real-time application. Blog, in contrast, is "anti-realtime". Blog is a tool for documenting history.

Interesting way of seeing how our sense of "time" comes into play in defining various types of blogging activities (by no means definite though, given its the user who ultimately shapes the usage).
