Post Images and Photos to Web Via Mobile Phone

Introduction

There seems to be three major trends in which the Web is going: cloud computing, HTML5, and mobile web development. Cloud computing at this point is presented "as a service" to businesses; it is not a free service. It is a web concept whereby one can access many services all rolled into one package. The other trend in which the Web is evolving is the completion of HTML5 - one that may eventually be the next standard in web site development. This is an important trend to be updated as this will surely affect web developers using HTML4 in their sites. Another trend that is leading the Web is mobile web development. This involves creating applications for mobile browsers, making your site configured to mobile browsing, and various technology that makes the mobile phone an instrument as essential as the desktop PC, notebooks, netbooks, and lap tops. For starters, we can familiarize ourselves with this new trend by learning to post images and photos to the Web via our mobile phones.

Mobile phone technology

Although the traditional mobile phone featured SMS services and various calling functions, many new sets are making the camera feature a standard in mobile phones. These camera features not only captures still photos and images but also can create video files. All these are usually save in a folder called "Gallery". As you take pictures, photos and videos and save them in your mobile phone, you can then post these files to the Web through such photo sharing sites like Vox.com. All you need to do to be able to post at Vox.com is to provide your mobile phone with your Vox username and password, and the image will be posted to your Vox account on the Web.

Vox.com

Vox.com provides a free blog hosting account where you can post both text and multimedia files from your mobile phone. It is easy to register. Just provide Vox.com with an email address and its password, and Vox will register you as one of its members. If you are very much into networking, you can use your Vox.com blog as a platform for networking with family, friends, business and professional contacts. There is an option to make your account private so that you can share only with the persons in your private social network.

Posting to Web and data cable transfer

Some mobile phones have the feature called "data cable transfer". This is also important because you can upload to your PC desktop or notebook many photo files all at once through data cable transfer. With data cable transfer, a cord is used to connect your mobile phone (via USB) to your PC or notebook. Once connected, your mobile phone goes "offline" and you will be able to tranfer the photo files to your desktop or notebook memory. If however, you only have one or two photos to post to your Vox.com account, then posting directly from your mobile phone would be faster and more efficient.

Despite the general downturn in the world economy, the Web continues to evolve and progress. Of all the industries in the world, it is one of the fastest in terms of development.
