Twitxr – A Tale of Mobile Posting

in a continuing effort to streamline my web2.0 existence, i’ve made a few changes to how i share my wildly interesting mobile photos with the world.

basically all i want is to be able to post an image from my iPhone and have it propogate to Facebook, Flickr and send out a Twitter alert complete w/ link. previously, i was just uploading any mobile photos to directly to my Flickr account and then having my blog update my recent flickr photos into a nice row of thumbnails (which you can see at the top of this page).

not content with having to upload photos to multiple services, i’ve decided to go with a service called Twitxr (pronounced twit-cher).

emailing a photo from my iphone to the twitxr service posts the photo on my twitxr profile page—but more importantly—sends out a link to the photo via twitter, posts a copy of the photo to flickr (complete with geotagging info) and uploads a copy to my facebook profile.

i settled on Twitxr b/c they have a publicly available API that will allow for growth and community support; in addition, they also have a decent iPhone client that will hopefully benefit from the iPhone SDK.

now that you’re aware of all of my behind-the-scenes tech wranglings, you can finally go about your day in peace.

    Hey so last night kim was kinda in a bitchy mood and I told her she was dumb and she was all, “Im dumb? At least I don’t go online and talk to jeffs dog on that chat thing you do. Youre the dumb one. I saw what you were writing. Why? Whats the point? Why don’t you figure out how to do the laundry right instead of wasting your time on that lame shit?”



    Classic.
