For the last 136 days, I’ve posted an iPhone photo on the internet just about every day. Where I’ve missed the occasional day, I’ll post its photo the day after, but more often than not, I take a photo and publish it to Flickr on that day. It started out as an experiment, posting a photo to Twitter using twitpic, but it soon became clear that this was not an ideal solution whereby I switched to Darkslide, as described here. At first, I didn’t make too much of a song and dance about it as I didn’t know how many days I would last before giving up.

Until I went to an ear specialist for an unusual weird loss of balance migraine thing, I’d never heard of Ménière’s Disease. I was told it was rather rare and there was no way of diagnosing it, apart from ruling everything else out. A few years later, and once everything else had been ruled out, I was diagnosed, provisionally, with this rare inner-ear disorder. Then I moved country from France to my native UK. Once again, they had to rule everything out, but they were pretty quickly convinced I had Ménière’s and I was put on a rolling prescription of Betahistine, which has reduced the severity of it for the past couple of years. Anyway, sob story and tinnitus aside, this isn’t about the disease as much as it is about how rare it … um, isn’t.

This article will demonstrate one way of posting photos to Twitter from an iPhone that allows us much more control than the usual ways, with a robust and reliable back-end provided by Yahoo’s legendary infrastructure. The key to the whole exercise is Darkslide, an iPhone Flickr client created by the man behind the brilliant FlickrExport.
The apps I use
Every day, I take a photo with my iPhone (The camera isn’t the best on a phone by a long shot, but it’s the camera I always have with me) and post that picture to Twitter. I started out doing this with what seemed like an ideal solution, twitpic, as it’s pretty much available in any iPhone client and as such has a few nice little features, like a picture icon appearing in twitpic posts in Tweetie, my Twitter client of choice.

Twitter, it seems has everything. So much so that when I wrote my URL shortener, tw3.it, no-one even noticed because there were already enough out there that another didn’t even show up as a blip on the radar. Still, being the go-getter I am, I decided to create a new service and I realised I had a spare domain with a silly name, plook.net.
