Mobile + mail = free Twitter everywhere – reviews

TomWolf — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:06:33 +0000

I don’t tweet through my mobile much since here in Sweden it costs to much to send an SMS to a UK number every time you want to update Twitter. Now I just might start =) I’ve found two services that makes it possible for me to update twitter through mail wich makes it very cheap to update from my mobile.

Mail2Twitter

First I found the Mail2Twitter service wich worked well enough. It updated my status and all I had to do was to mail their mailaddress with my username and….password…in the status and my tweet in the body. It worked but it took 5 min to update and I wasn’t really comfortable sending my password everytime I wanted to tweet.

EmailTwitter

Luckily for me I found a second service as well. EmailTwitter has the same service as Mail2Twitter but with a few additions. First of all you can register your Twitter and mail details on their webpage and then you don’t have to send your password when mailing anymore…big bonus. Also EmailTwitter only took 40 seconds to update my twitter status! As if that wasn’t good enough you can also get your timeline or your private messages sent to you easily.

Jag använder inte Twitter i mobilen särskilt mycket då ett SMS till england kostar 1.50:-. Nu kan det dock bli ändring på det då jag funnit två tjänster som låter mig tweeta via mail, något jag kan göra enkelt via mobilen.

Mail2Twitter

Först hittade jag Mail2Twitter. Tjänsten fungerade som utlovat genom att jag skickade mitt användarnamn och…lösenord…i subject och min tweet i bodyn på mailet. Jag var inte jätteglad över att skicka med mitt lösenord varje gång jag mailade, än mindre då jag gör det via mobilen. Dessutom tog det 5 minuter att uppdatera min status.

EmailTwitter

Som tur var så hittade jag snart EmailTwitter som erbjuder samma tjänst men med en del tillägg. För det första så kan man registrera sina mail och twitter-uppgifter på deras hemsida vilket resulterar i att jag inte behöver skicka med mina uppgifter när jag mailar. Som extra bonus kan man dessutom få sin timeline och sina privata meddelanen skickad till sin mobil med enkelhet. Som om det inte var nog så tog det enbart 40 sekunder att uppdatera min twitter status! =)

TwitThis is a plugin that lets your visitor share your content with others. You can use it at your site or as a WordPress plugin that adds the TwitThis icon to every post. It is pretty simple, someone likes what you write and they press the TwitThis icon wich lets them publish your post over Twitter as a mini url. The installation is very straight forward and the icon looks good =)

Picasa -> Facebook uploader – review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 13:38:15 +0000

If you don’t want to create your albums on the Picasa website, or perhaps you have used up your 1GB quota, you got the option to do it directly to your Facebook using Picasas wonderful application.

You simply install the application on Facebook, download a file to the “Buttons” folder of your Picasa installation and now you got a button in your Picasa wich lets you upload pictures directly to Facebook. This all works very handy and I really got nothing to complain about. The reason for the high score is because while Facebook have no limits on how many photos you can upload. The only limitation is that you can only have 60 photos in each album. Also WordPress has plugins to import photos from Facebook as well as Picasa.
