Just like blogs revolutionized online communities, our mobile phones have evolved as powerful and very effective platform to voice out our opinion and share our thoughts to the community even when we are on the go.
Aside from the power of mobility, its inherent advantages include viral connectivity, message propagation in real time and individuality of perspective. Imagine a simple text message can inspire the whole country to protect democracy against greed and corruption. Call it weird or crazy but that's what exactly happened in the Philippines when they ousted then President Estrada in 2001.
With the entry of Mobile 2.0, mobile activism is expected to be more dynamic and interactive. Now, mobile users can use the ultra-popular twitter to share thoughts to the online community in real-time and other emerging mobile apps.
In the U.S., presidential aspirants rely on mobile technology to win the election. Barack Obama is noted for its very comprehensive mobile strategy from twitter feeds, ringtones, mobile phone wallpapers to SMS alerts all under Obama Mobile. Even Hillary Clinton, Ron Paul and John Edwards do have their own Twitter feeds but not updated regularly.
