Dave's Mobilestream: The view from my desk

5th floor over the Thames, not too shabby. It's a client site so I'll only be here a few weeks, but it beats cubicles.

What's the big idea?

It's simple really. I wanted to play around with the idea of convergence - phone, editor, content provider and email all from the same device. It's been possible for a while, but I wanted to have a go too.

I wanted to set it up so that I could snap and post without any other intervention. Nowadays I use an iPhone 3GS to take the pics, various apps to edit them and upload them by emailing from the phone to flickr. I then set flickr to directly post emailed pictures to the blog hosted at blogspot.

I also use an automated "set generator" to create a specific flickr set based on a keyword which flickr auto tags into my photos on the email upload.

And finally, I user dlvr.it to automatically create a tweet in my twitter stream.

And that's all there is to it.
