Nothing wrong with offering MMS-powered photoblogs. It’s when users start doing the unthinkable that a great idea such as the Addict Mobile Blog becomes a PR nightmare.

[...] This is why “mobile blogging” isn’t safe for kids — Smart’s Addict Mobile Blog (or AMBlog) is being swamped by nude pictures being posted via MMS by its subscribers. [...]
Addict Mobile Scandal!
As the cliche goes, porn drives all technology.
Libre lang kase mag MMS sa knaila ngayon. May promo eh. hehehe

Shouldn’t they be socially, morally responsible? Kumikita kasi sila bawat click sa mga pics kung gamit ang cellphone, kaya pinababayaan na lang siguro.

Kates: Yeah, Smart’s responsible. Why they let people post photos directly to their site can be explained by sheer stupidity.
Yuga: Nah, even if it actually cost money to post photos, I think these people would’ve still put up those pictures. Because, who can resist the chance to put porn on one of the sites of a powerful telco?
[...] My my my! My mother would faint! I’m seeing a mobile blogging service sponsored by a Addict Mobile and it’s displaying hardcore amateur porn! These are mobile phone photos sent to the website via MMS through an access code of Smart. Update: See Addict Mobile PR Nightmare on Pinoy Tech Blog [...]
They should have seen this coming (no pun intended).
I hear these kinds of photos have surfaced in their blog in the past but were quickly removed. What happened now? They should have made the blog better moderated, better filtered.
tsk tsk tsk iling. …
[...] Napapa-iling ako sa Addict Mobile Blog showing porn MMS photos. [...]
[...] Addict Mobile PR Nightmare is probably one of the worst scenarios that would make a telecom giant hide in shame due to the fact that there’s no one removing the R-18 content found there. They should do something about this as soon as possible. Doing ala Pontius Pilate washing of the hands is unacceptable. They made the rules and they should let the users know that the rules should not be broken. They are responsible in upholding those rules. [...]
I could imagine technophobes telling their kids:
“O, sabi ko na nga, masama yang MMS na iyan eh! Hwag ka na mag-cellphone!”
That’s obviously the wrong way to treat the issue.
Let the technology find its good use.
And for perverts to find their own place, wherever that may be.

This…
Everyone wants to be a star! Hahaha. Sick.
[...] Smart’s Addict Mobile Blog is getting flak for the obscene and lude MMS photos posted on its site. [...]
[...] Instead of mobile blogs getting lewd images, why don’t they do something like this. This could have been more useful and will even get positive feedback that is if they filter out images that are of pornographic in nature. [...]
[...] About two weeks ago, Smart’s Addict Mobile blog portal was reported as not being filtered for nude pictures. The scandal was posted in numerous other blogs but the AMBlog portal went on its exhibitionist spree. [...]
There’s another Smart service called cute crowd… more wholesome but still fun!
[...] A couple of weeks back, PTB blogged about the Addict Mobile photoblog and then there’s the perpetually active Smart Wifi post. Now there’s a whitepaper that aims to put forward a model to measure quantitatively the impact of blogs on brands (PDF). “We wanted to take a scientific approach – objectively demonstrating which bloggers have authority and an ability to affect corporate reputation.” Mark Rogers, CEO at Market Sentinel said. “Using the science of citation indexing, and the Dell case study, we are able to quantify and analysis the impact each blogger has on a company’s brand image and analyse the indirect influence as well as direct impact: proving that blogging has a significant affect on reputation.” [...]
[...] Tech site Pinoy Tech Blog and Leon Kilat earlier noted how the Addict Mobile Blog was chock-full o’porn – uploaded by its many users. [...]
kumikita talaga sila diyan.
