On the Cusp of Something New

If you’ve been following my blog, Twitter, Facebook or just know me in person, you’ve probably heard rumblings of a project I’ve been working on: foto:blip

foto:blip is a photo-based microblog. What the heck is that, you might ask? Well, combine Flickr and Twitter, and that’s what you get.

foto:blip is designed for those of us who use our mobile devices or cameras to capture the events of the day. The images are small and the captions are limited. Blips are designed to be quick and to share the moment with your followers and friends.

Some features include:
Connections- add users to your connections and all of their posts show up on your homepage when you log in

Facebook sharing- any public post on foto:blip can be shared to your Facebook profile, allowing all your Facebook friends to see and comment on your post

Twitter integration- save your Twitter account information and your blips can be automatically posted to Twitter

Browser-based foto:booth- this is cool for all users who have built in webcams. Use the
Flash-based foto:booth to take a quick picture without uploading any files

More.. you’ll have to check it out to see.

Well, primetime is almost here. The site is about 95 percent complete, and I’d like to open it up to a few more people to test it out and get some feedback. Please feel free to visit the pre-release version of the site at: http://staging.fotoblip.com and sign up for an account.

Any feedback, questions or problems you have, send them on over to help (at) fotoblip.com
