We have a lot of big ideas, and among the biggest is that you, gentle Yurth user, will soon be uploading right from your camera phone to Yurth. But that’s soon, not now. And you want to get your on-the-fly video up to Yurth immediately. We don’t blame you.
So for the time being, we’ve got a great solution.
We like Twango a lot. It’s a great place to upload video straight from your mobile phone before posting it to Yurth.
First, set up a Twango account and create your own channel(s). This takes all of about 48 seconds, even for the likes of us.
Next, we’ll hand it over the Twango folks to do the rest of the ‘splaining:
One of the most fun ways to get media into Twango is directly from your camera phone. Camera phones do not yet have the photo quality of dedicated digital still cameras, but your camera phone has one key advantage: You always have it with you! And as photography enthusiasts often say, the best camera in the world is the one you actually have with you.
All modern camera phones have the ability to send photos, videos, audio clips and other media via the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). And most also have the ability to send email. After you’ve captured media, there is usually an option to send it via MMS or email.
To upload media to one of your Twango channels from your camera phone, you will need to know your channel’s email upload address, which you can find on the channel settings page. When you want to upload media from your phone, simply specify that address and the media will be placed in your channel.
So you’re on the go, you capture something earthshattering on your video-capable mobile phone or PDA, and in a few thumbstrokes voila, it’s in your Twango media box. From there, you log on to Yurth and uplaod freely!
