Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet tooPosting multiple items – tooting my own horn
OK, so I am not on the Lifeblog team anymore, though I still work for Nokia, but there’s really no pressing need to tout the app anymore. But, I will.
My mom is an insane quilter and she takes a ton of photos and wants to share them with her quilting buddies. She’s absolutely frustrated with TypePad and posting multiple photos. There is not easy way for someone who doesn’t want something complicated to post multiple items – the browser interface only allows one at a time, and the Windows Explorer only works with albums.
She wants to easily post multiple items to her blog!
I haven’t set her up with Lifeblog, yet – no time, and it’s a bit more complicated if you don’t have a phone, but just a camera. But I did install it on her PC and show how easy it was. Badabing-badaboom.
Yes, Lifeblog makes it stupidly easy to post multiple items onto TypePad.
She’s been bugging me ever since to show her how to use Lifeblog with her digital camera.
Do you feel the need to post images immediately?
Of course, I use Lifeblog to post to my blog. Indeed, I almost exclusively post from the phone.
One thing I noticed, now that I can post anything from anywhere, I feel a bit more rushed to share moments via my blog. Basically, if I don’t post the video or photo soon after I capture the moment, I usually don’t feel compelled to do it later.
I don’t know, but I think it’s because my style of posting is to share a moment as I felt it. If I wait until later, the feeling is diminished. Most certainly, it’s not a rush due to thinking my site gets so many visitors and I need to keep it going. It’s just that my push to post is usually most felt when I capture the memory.
How do you feel when posting old images? Do you wish that your on-line site reflected you phone content immediately? How has being able to Flickr from the phone changed the way folks take and share pictures and videos?
Hmm.
Does anyone understand trackbacks?
Trackbacks are a great way of sending a ‘ping’ back to another blog saying that you are talking about them.
When you write about another post, you usually put a link to the blog so that your readers can go and see what you are talking about. But, there is no easy mechanism for the blog you linked to to know that you wrote about them using just URLs.
Trackbacks were devised so that you can notify the other blog. When you read the other blog, at the end of the post you want to link to, there is usually a special trackback link. Copy that link and put it in the appropriate trackback field on your post. Then, when your post goes live, the other blog will have a link to your post.
That way, there is a two-way conversation. You send your readers to the other blog, and the other blog has a way of letting their readers know that there is another relevant post elsewhere.
It’s really great. Use them often. I find it actually a matter of good citizenship and also a good service to the readers at yours and other sites.
Wikipedia, of course, has a definition. And if that is not clear, hear it from Six Apart for a more technical explanation – here.
Another Lifeblogger – I hope it all goes well ;-)

I don’t know if this is just me, but I miss all of that stuff. I would love to have all those little memories stored away on my computer for old time’s sake.
Little messages of love and lust and hate and despair from a time before I became boring, settled down and stopped chasing…
I dunno… Is it just me?

The Lifeblog software automatically organizes your cameraphone’s photos, videos, text messages, multimedia messages, and notes into a timeline. You can then browse, search, organize, and share this timeline with friends, family, colleagues, whoever.
