Flickr adds CC moblogging for any weblog
UncategorizedA couple weeks ago, we mentioned Flickr added support for Creative Commons licenses to their photo uploading and hosting service. This week, they’ve announced a pretty amibitious new feature: mobile phone blogging for almost any blog service.
It works like this: you setup an account at Flickr, enable moble blogging features by inputing details about your blog, choose a CC license, and you’ll be able to post photos from your phone to any Blogger, LiveJournal, Movable Type, and/or Typepad powered weblog. Here’s a great example blog of CC-licensed photos being posted through Flickr.
I’m really impressed with this new feature. I’ve built my own similar system and it required a weekend of hacking and data spread across three servers. Now anyone can have a similar setup by simply using the free Flickr service in just a few minutes.
