Mission accomplished!
I tried shozu, twittergram, and a host of other ideas, but everything fell short. What I found to work actually does not require a special app, so it would work from an iphone, blackberry, palm, windows mobile, or any device with internet access.
Here’s how it works:
- I send the picture as one email to my xxxx@twitpic.com and my xxxx@photos.flickr.com addresses simultaneously. The subject line of the email becomes the line of the tweet and the title of the picture in Flickr. You can find your custom addresses at http://twitpic.com/settings.do and http://www.flickr.com/account?tab=email.
- I have Facebook set up to import my tweets, so the status updates automatically.
- I also have Facebook configured to import my Flickr photos so the picture will show up in my FB Newsfeed.
- In my wordpress blog, I use the widget “Quick Flickr” to show the latest mobile pics.
- In feedburner I used Photo Splicer to add the most recent mobile pics to my blog feed from my Flickr “latest” Photostream feed found at the bottom of my photostream page.
Voila! On my TouchPro, sending the photo in an email is very efficient and even though I have to add the two addresses, I found it faster than using a downloaded app that has to be opened and the prompts followed. I can uninstall my apps to save room and have all the features I am looking for with a simple email!
Cheers!
Hey, nice post, very well written. You should post more about this. I’ll definitely be subscribing.
Thank you sir. I am also bringing in the flickr mobile photos into the LifeStreamer widget in WordPress along with the Twitter items. Looks really nice. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment Katty. I completely uninstalled Shozu and that sped up the process even more because it removed one of the screen clicks from the process that program creates when you click a picture (options of where to send it).
