GDZLLA: Post Pictures to Flickr from Tweetie 2

Douglas — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:52:47 +0000

One of the sweet features of Tweetie 2 is the ability to enter your own “Image Service APT Endpoint”. This allows you to add your own choice for where your images are posted if you’re not happy with the list provided. Here’s where GDZLLA comes in. You just visit gdzl.la to setup your account and it will post your images to Flickr instead of something like Twitpic. This is awesome because now I can post my image once and not worry about uploading it to Flickr later. The only downfall is it doesn’t name the photos. You probably don’t want the whole tweet being the title. Maybe have the tweet go in the description. Right now it just names the picture “Photo” and the description “Uploaded from Tweetie 2 via GDZLLA“. Then it just needs to upload it to my Facebook account and we’d be all set. This is currently a free service.

Yahoo Releases Offical Flickr Application in App Store

Available In: App Store

Price: Free

Today, yahoo released an official Flickr application. the app is well designed for the iPhone and iPod touch and does allow for some basic Flickr functionality. The first time you open the app, you will need to login to your account and authorize the application. These are both done in Safari… it would have been nice if it would have been built into the app.

Once you are all setup you can view your photo stream, tags, sets, favorites, contacts, recent activity, leave comments, search Flickr, mark images as favorites, upload photos and videos, edit photos and videos…etc (check out the App Store description below).

When you upload an image you can add a title, description, tags, add it to a set, turn on the current location tag and set the privacy level.

The application has a nice design and everything is formatted well for the iPhone. It worked really well on WiFi and did decently well on Edge… it was a little laggy but, I think that is to be expected. Overall, a nice application.

Flickr has launched a new iPhone optimized site. If you love flickr, you will LOVE their new mobile site! It offers basically all the functions of the “normal” flickr website. You are able to view recent activity, your recent activity, your contacts recent activity, your contact list, search, view comments, leave comments, view your favorites, sets and collections, star a photo, view the photo in a larger size…etc. It is really really nice. I was also surprised by how quickly the site runs. I was on WiFi and it ran really nicely!

The only thing the mobile site does not have is the ability to organize your photos and a slideshow option. You will definitely want to check it out to get the full feel of the new site. Just head over to m.flickr.com. Screenshots below.

Twitxr 0.5

Twitxr is an iPhone app for the website Twitrx.com. Twitxr allows you to publish a picture to your Twitter account. From the iPhone you can either take a photo from within Twitxr or pull photos from your camera roll. If you choose to take a picture it will show up in your camera roll later. Once you choose your picture you just type your text and send it. It posts to your Twitxr account which then posts to your Twitter with a link to the photo. Other features include seeing other users pics from Twitxr, recording your location (is only seen on the Twitxr website) and toggle for high res picture (turn off for faster edge experience).

I’ve been using this service & app since Feb 20th but I recently noticed some features that I’m not sure were there before. You can now set up the ability to send the picture to not only Twitter, but Flickr & Facebook (see settings on their website). This is great! Now I can update all three with one app! This app is availble in Installer under the network category via the BigBoss source.

This is another app that has been a long time coming! But it was worth the wait. It’s simple but it works great. You can view all your Flickr pictures, and of course your friend’s too. There’s search, explore, and best of all, upload photos from the camera roll. You can install via the XK72 Repository. See the video for all the info:

And for the 90 second rundown:
