Claudia live blogs! She blogs on the go and her posts get to twitter almost instantly. How did she post those photos at events up online so quickly? Does she has some magic power?? Or did she has inbuilt computer and chips within her brain, eyes and fingers that auto processes whatever she sees, hears and touched into digital format and post it online automatically? How the hell did she do it?!
No! I’ve got no magic power nor potion and I’m 101% human. What I’m doing can easily be implemented into your blogging routine too. It just take a little effort of finding the right tools and ways to link them all up. And with RSS feeds, linking up isn’t that tough.
Let’s use BlogOut! 2009 as an example…
What I used?
- My Samsung Innov 8 mobile phone
- My Singtel SIM card with mobile broadband service
- My email account
- My posterous account
- My other blog
- Twitterfeed
- My twitter account
Throughout the two days at Blogout!, I posted photos live from the event to my other blog. I took photos with my mobile phone, attached the photo and sent an email to my posterous account where it auto post my update to my blogspot blog. With twitterfeed and the power of #tags, followers online during those two days were able to read updates on their tweets with photos accompanying what was happening during that time. This also resulted in an increase in the views over at my unknown and totally random blog (as seen on the graph on the right).
Example: I wanted to share the prizes we were giving away on Day 1 of blogout, so I took photos of the prizes and sent an email to posterous. It got posted to my other blog and got feed to my other twitter. And because I included the #tags in my email subject (aka the post title), followers of Blogout! on day 1 were able to see the post too if they’re following #blogout09 on the various #tag-following websites.
Its simple isn’t it? For me, I find Posterous useful and fits my needs. Till I discover another tool more powerful and easier than Posterous, I will stick to it. If you want to learn more about Posterous, I did share about it before in this post.
If you’re still unsure of the process of my method of live blogging and broadcasting, let me illustrate the process for you. This is what I always do…

Sometimes, instead of posting to my blogspot blog through posterous, I post direct to my flickr account too. If you’re asking why I choose to post at different places, well, I also don’t know the answer wor. When I feel that its necessary or good to share with my twitter followers, I’ll post on my blogspot (which I’d linked to my twitterfeed), and when I want to use different sizes of a photo I took, I’ll post it to flickr.
Now that you know how it can be done, are you going to try it out yourself? If you are keen to be part of a live blogging/ tweeting/ broadcasting team too, you can sign up at http://tr.im/hpnB or follow @sgtweet for updates.

Put Armani and Samsung together and you get this…

Samsung M7500
Slim sexy white (or black) Emporio Armani phone with flashing luminous light that’s great for clubs and the dance floor. The side with the branding is where the lights illuminate. There’s green, blue and red.

Not quite the type of phone I would use. But well, I’m sure there are a market for such fashionable and head-turning phone. Especially with this sexy logo of GA at the back!

The soft-to-the-touch, rubber-like feel and texture which was supposed to give it a more senses touch, to my bf, it made it feel almost like a toy. (What an expensive and branded toy!)

If you’re into the looks, branding and touch of phones, than this Emporio Armani phone is for you. The keypad is flat but feels silky when touched. Perhaps the best feature of this phone imo is the touch of the center button. Don’t ask me why, but I just can’t stop feeling it! *hmmm*

What’s an entertainment phone with no multimedia control buttons? These aren’t missing from this slim phone. On the right side of the phone, you can find these…

The Music Hotkeys
And did I mention that you can use your sexy earpiece with this too? It supports the standard 35mm jack.
More information about the phone from the official website…

Specially designed with unique EA logo and fonts, the deep black graphic user interface employs premium 2.2-inch 256K advance AMOLED display technology to offer pure visual delight. Go beyond conventional LCD-based GUI, for blacks that are blacker, whites that are whiter and razor-sharp contrasts that are absolutely stunning.
One feature to highlight is the music recognition (which I also witnessed similar feature on the HTC Dream phone at the Android launch)
Advanced music recognition feature lets you instantly identify any song, anywhere. Simply hit record for a few seconds, send your recorded clip to the SHAZAM server and voila! Within seconds you’re provided with the artist and title of the song, and a link that connects you directly to an online music store.
This phone comes in very nice packaging of course!

This phone can be found at Samsung.

Finally got my mobile phone changed. Now using Samsung E600C and I love it! It’s the same as my very first Samsung, but this time packed with lots of fun and colours! Now looking for nice ringtones for it. Apart from SFC where else can I find ringtones for my phone? Anyone out there have any clues? Hope you would share with me. ;)
Putting the fun aside, my markings are pilling up every day! I don’t know when will I be able to complete all the marking and work! Looks like my webby will have to be put on hold. Probably can only start working on it in the Sept holidays. Looking forward to my new creation, or should I say the same version but with slightly different feel… hmm… well, it’ll all depend on the amount of time I have then.
