How picture-sharing works today
By Dave Winer on Monday, November 22, 2010 at 8:33 PM.

When I publish a picture from my iPhone, I: #

1. Take the picture (that's the fun part). #

2. Click the send icon at the bottom of the picture. #

3. Choose Email from the dialog. #

4. Type FU to get the first two letters of my flickrupload email address. #

5. Wait because the iPhone is ridiculously slow at recognizing this sequence of clicks. #

6. Click in the subject area of the envelope. #

7. Type the title (a necessary step, no matter what method is used). #

8. Click Send. #

9. Choose the resolution from the dialog that pops up. #

And that's just the beginning of the trip my picture is going to take. Now it has to get from Flickr to Twitter somehow. For that, I usually wait until I can get to a laptop with a net connection. #

It'll be interesting to see how this compares to the way pictures are shared from the road in the future. Hopefully most of the steps will be gone.  #
