Ok, I just found a very cool screen casting app on a Mashable post called Screenr. For those of you who are already aware of this, forgive me. This is really huge and works great for on the fly screencasts. It integrates with Twitter and the quality is awesome. Checkout Screenr and let me know what you think?

Good morning. I know that this is not a photo related post, but sharing photos that you have taken is an awesome ability. Photography is elevated when you can share it with others and get their perspectives and comments. That is why I love my iPhone so much. I always have it with me and it is not big and bulky. The downside is the quality. Don’t get me wrong, it is adequate for a 3 megapixel camera, but I just wish I had a little more to work with and a little more control.

At any rate, I found this post this morning on how to post directly to fan pages on Facebook from your iPhone. I have been doing this for sometime with my personal profile, but hadn’t figured out how to achieve this for my fan pages. This may be old news to some, but I have been looking for this for some time. I administer a couple of fan pages in addition to my own personal profile and I know this will definately open up opportunities for increased sharing.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any additional comments or info.

Tweetdeck is another program that I have been using for my twitter needs. I have been using both Tweetdeck and Hootsuite for my twitter needs and I am torn about which one I like best. Today I found this Mashable post about the new features in Tweetdeck. See what you think and let me know what you use to access and keep up with twitter.

I know that this blog is supposed to be about photos, but this post is about a little program that I have been using for awhile now. One of the hardest issues that I have in dealing with social media is the ability to connect with my communities. That is one of the reasons that I love using my iPhone for photos and videos, I always have it with me and I can share it almost instantly with my community as things happen.

Hootsuite is an awesome little program that allows a person to aggregate (combine) social media networks into one application. In this case Hootsuite is accessible anywhere you have connectivity to the internet. Check out the newest additions to Hoosuite, they are pretty significant. Maybe it is just me, but it seems so hard to find a way to filter out all the excessive noise out there and just communicate with the people that I want to connect with. Thanks Hootsuite for all the great features!

This is one of my most used and favorite app on my iPhone. VideoUp allows video to be uploaded directly to Facebook. It works awesome and I have used it a ton. I have shot videos just about everywhere and then uploaded them to share on my Facebook page. It is not the same as streaming video, but it works great. Ustream Broadcaster offers streaming capability through their new app for the iPhone that works with the iPhone 3G as well.

Check this app out if you like to shoot videos and then share them on Facebook. If live streaming from your iPhone is your thing, then try Ustream’s new app.

I found this in my travels tonight and thought I would give it a try. It is called FaceMic. It allows you to record an audio message and upload it, along with a picture or map, to your facebook profile. There is also a version for twitter.

Time, from download to this being published, was about 2.5 minutes. Talk about intuitive and easy to use. The quality is great in a quiet room.

If you use this, let me know what you think.
