Dear Spindrift Surfboards,
A few days ago I made
your blog a
Blog of Note. It sure would be nice if you would fill out a little more information in your
Blogger Profile so people could contact you and perhaps buy a surfboard from
Spindrift Surfboards. Heck, everyone could use a little more info in their profile.
Your pal,
Jason
P.S. Is the surf really any good on the East Coast or do you guys all wish you lived near Huntington Pier?
Will that be plastic or a hunk of plastic?
Back at the Comdex 2000 show Ericsson was showing off their vision of cellphone as wallet. 2000. It's 2004 and I can *maybe* buy a Palm app wirelessly on my expensive Treo 600. C'mon US of A how about catching up? Rafe Needleman writes about '
Mobile Phones: Credit Cards of the Future'. Maybe this idea just needs to congeal for another 4 years.
A while back, I wrote up instructions for Blogger Pro users describing
how to use your SprintPCS Wireless Camera phone with Blogger. Now that all of the features of Blogger Pro are now available to all users, like mail-to-blogger, I thought it might be a good time to bring this up again. I will point out again that this will only work for
SprintPCS users and may have issues as it's still only in beta. Here is a
sample blog I've been keeping with various Sprint devices and
here are the instructions.
The photo below is a screenshot from the new Blogger photo posting tool -
the Hello BloggerBot. Essentially, a company called Picasa (that makes a great photo management app) also has a great P2P photo sharing app called
Hello. Months ago they showed me a demo of Hello, I was able to share huge photos with my family and friends but was dying to be able to share these to the web.
Then they created the
BloggerBot to allow our users to share photos directly to their blog! Very cool. This means as of today, if you have are using Blog*Spot with your Blogger account, you can post pictures and they will be hosted for you. If you have your own host and publish via FTP - no problem - your photos will be uploaded to the same directory as your blog. There are a ton of little features that make this an amazing tool. I urge you to try it now! Here is a rundown of some of the finer points:
- Easy as IM
- BloggerBot will automatically resize your JPG pictures, add your captions, and publish your pictures to your blog
- Pick a size - Want your inline post photos to be 320px wide and enlarge 800px size click-thru? It's all up to you
- Customize a tagline - Leave it as 'Posted by Hello', choose your own text 'Copyright Jon Dough', or turn them off
- Integrates with Picasa - Often called iPhoto for the PC, send pictures directly out of this great photo management application
- Internet Explorer integration - See a web page that you want to take a snapshot of? Send it to your blog like I've done below with the BloggerBot
To try it, visit the
Hello site, sign-up for a Hello IM name and download the Windows app. You'll be up and running in no-time. I'm sure you will find your own cool uses for this too. I've started using it to maintain my
photoblog and I have an example of how it looks when using in conjunction with Blog*Spot at
shellendotcomphotos.blogspot.com. I can't wait to see how you will use it!
