Sending to YFrog from Shozu

TwitPic is great, but it goes down occasionally. That’s why I loved hearing that YFrog had been created by the guys and gals at ImageShack to provide a easy, fast, and stable alternative. Without a doubt, they’re my new favourite image host for Twitter-bound images.

I want to upload them to the internet from my phone, and I’ve recently started appreciating Shozu, but I’ve not seen any official support for sending images from YFrog to Shozu from your phone.

Yesterday I dug a bit deeper and found that YFrog allowed e-mails of photos to be sent in. I tried setting that up with Shozu but it didn’t work. My suspicion is that it failed because my YFrog email address changed in the settings screen every time I tried to look at it.

My solution? PixelPipe. I don’t understand the S60 software at all, but they do provide an email upload address like YFrog do and I know that their YFrog upload routine works. All I have to do is point my Shozu account to e-mail my photos to PixelPipe and that service does the rest. Maybe not the most elegant way to upload pictures, but it works.
