So after some research and playing around, I’ve decided to move the iPhoneography/photoblog over to Posterous. It seemed to have the best features for what I am looking for moving forward with snapping pictures on my iPhone…
First off: Speed… Way faster to load and work with than my wordpress photoblog (or previous experience with Pixelpost).
Second: Ease of upload/sharing… They have an app, and it’s pretty quick and easy, but they also have a rich email based uploading system that really takes the cake. Almost every iPhone photo app ahs an ‘email’ feature as well as the camera roll. Choose a photo (or photos), send the email with the title and tags in the subject line and your done!
Third: Full-res version of picture… I really liked the way Posterous pops open a large view in a shadowbox style, but on hover gives you the option to download the fullsize image (or a zipped file of the gallery of pics – more on that next)… The wordpress templates didn’t lend themselves easily to this feature at all. Tumblr unfortunately just opens the image in its own page – a little bland…
Fourth(and finally): The Gallery… Upload multiple images (or email) and they appear connected by a single post. Browse them inline or as mentioned, download a zip file of all the images in that post. Very cool!!
Hopefully with this ease of use directly from my phone, I’ll be much more capable of keeping the photoblog updated and fresh… As always, andy thoughts or feedback are highly appreciated!
