Just trying out a new tool I stumbled onto today. One thing that has always been thorn in my side on long trips is sending photos and updates from the trail or river. In the past, I was wholly dependent on public libraries and other access points to get on the Internet. This often put me behind the eight ball if I had to get an article out. It also was a general pain if I just wanted to send a couple of emails. No more of that for me!
I’ve gotten much heavier into using social media tools in the last few months, especially since purchasing an iPhone. I’m still a neophyte, but it’s remarkable how far things come in just a few years. I’m now able to update anywhere I can get the smallest signal to send an email or SMS message.
Think it doesn’t work?
This photo was taken with my iPhone, emailed to the Posterous.com blogging service, which then automatically routed it to our Sourcetosea.net website. I also sent it to our account at flickr.com, who then automatically created a twit on my Twitter feed. I still can’t believe I wrote and posted this from the middle of a lake!
