So I’m looking for some help and suggestions here. For the past year I’ve been trying to find an easy way to publish my growing collection of iPhone photos.
Currently I’ve been slugging them up on a secondary wordpress blog, but not only is the process more timely than simply uploading, the site seems sluggish and I haven’t yet found a template (even with tweaking) that lends itself real well to display.
There have been a few new sites recently that focus specifically on iPhoneography as a ‘thing’ (and I like this…); EYE’EM & iPhoneART to name a few… EYE’EM has nice presentation, but its sluggish (and never seems to remember my login…), iPhoneART plays quicker and feels more like Flickr, but neither of these have a way to upload from the iPhone (one of the key things I’m looking for…). iPhoneART does say they have an app on the way, and when that arrives I think I would lean more toward that site…
The place I’m really leaning toward now is Tumblr. On a whim, I set up a tumblr for nonsense and random stuff, but inadvertently I find it to be the absolutely easiest way to get a photo online (outside of the occasional facebook & twitter upload). I like that clicking the image gives a full resolution version, and the Tumblr iPhone app is quick and responsive. I’ve seen some people using Posterous, and of course Flickr itself, but my quick observation is that Tumblr might just do the job for me…
So the bottom line is this; Before I go full boat popping my stuff over to the like of Tumblr, or before I spend too much time testing out 9 other things, I’d love to get some feedback/advice/suggestions from anyone out there. For this home for iPhone photos, I’m really seeing great user viewing experience and ease of interaction from the phone (uploading & viewing) as the 2 biggest features I’m looking for. Ease to link to individual photos would be nice (as I’d like to replace my one-off iphoneography tweet posts with posts to the photo in my gallery…
Comment or shoot me a twitter dm with any thoughts…please!!
