So, to recap. I don’t like the way Twitpic or Yfrog handle tweeted photos or ads, but I do like the ability to post a picture direct to Twitter. I store ‘real’ photos at Smugmug without any ads or registration for visitors. The best solution for me would be to post directly to a Smugmug album (via the Tweetie app) and have the URL tweeted automatically. For some technical reason Tweetie & Smugshot don’t get on, so I compromised with a Posterous account just for photo posts (it was too easy not to) which meant I had to email posts (or in this case photos) to to the site but for the occasional picture I can live with that. I also used Twitterfeed for a while until I discovered Posterous’ ability to autopost to Twitter.

Now I find there’s an iPhone app ‘PicPosterous‘ – again, sorry about the name, there’s nothing I can do about it – which posts directly from the iPhone camera without the need for emailing anything and it creates albums of events if I so choose so I’m one step closer to where I want to be. I might even be there, I haven’t decided yet.

I love it when a plan comes together.
