Thing 14

Try one or two of these sharing tools:




Tumblr is a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, videos, links, quotes and audio to their tumblelog, a short-form blog. Users can follow other users, or choose to make their tumblelog private. The service emphasizes ease of use.
Make sure you look at the goodies, too:

For example, you can update Tumblr with your smartphone and then let it also send that same update to facebook and Twitter.

Check out Posterous:
Posterous lets you post anything online using email. Just attach photos, video, music, documents, or files of any kind to post@posterous.com.

You can even autopost to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and every major blog platform (Blogger, Typepad, WordPress) all at the same time.

New to Posterous?

Just send one email to post@posterous.com.
Attach photos, video, music, and documents. Send. Signup finished.
Posting photos and videos to Facebook is as easy as sending an email ... and you get your own Posterous website too!

Momentile is a photo sharing service with some very cool twists. There is, of course, no dearth of photo sharing services online, but momentile has come up with an interesting way to combine photo sharing and lifestreaming with the spirit of micro-blogging services like Twitter. The basic idea behind momentile is that you will upload one picture per day, so that after a year, you will have a collection of 365 pictures that represent that year.



For you knitters and crocheters, set up a Ravelry account :-) and get inspired!

From the About Us page on the Ravelry Website: "Ravelry is a place for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, weavers and dyers to keep track of their yarn, tools, project and pattern information, and look to others for ideas and inspiration. The content here is all user- driven; we as a community make the site what it is. Ravelry is a great place for you to keep notes about your projects, see what other people are making, find the perfect pattern and connect with people who love to play with yarn from all over the world in our forums."

  2. I have set up a Tumblr account and sent one post in by e-mail. I have my sig on my e-mail by default, so I had to go in and edit it out. Ha, that taught me a few things.

    Love Ravelry! I just wish it was faster.
    Or, maybe it's my computer (or me).
