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.

  1. I post immediately (to flickr, over GPRS, from a 6630) because I’m using it for a specific project: a friend from out of town… very, *very* far out of town… planted daffodils and other flowers for me last year, and as they come into bloom, I can put pictures up immediately. Only one at a time, though – GPRS is still “modem speed”, my pattern is to take a picture on the way out the door in the morning, caption it, hit send, and drive to work – the phone has usually finished posting within the first couple of miles. I’d probably post more (or post groups) if they could be batched – I may, eventually, code something up in Amaretto to do that, but by using lifeblog, the pictures I *do* send are getting shared *now*, and that’s a Good Thing.

  2. I mostly post all the photos I want to immediately, but for Photo Friday challenges or for photo essays, I do go back through LifeBlog on my PC to find the photos I want to blog.
