foto:blip coming soon.

i’m about 80 percent done my new social site, foto:blip.

the concept is pretty simple. we live in a visual world, not a textual one. though words can describe many things, a picture still captures so much more.

tools like twitter are cool. it allows you to update from a variety of places, most commonly the web site, a facebook application and from a registered mobile device. it’s really cool to be able to share your day as it happens with your followers and see what your friends are doing with their days.

it’s time to take the next step. foto:blip merges the quick-posting ease of use of applications like twitter with the increased level of communication that can take place with a photograph.

some of the features include:

  • built in flash-powered foto:booth. you don’t even need to save a photo to your computer first, simply take a picture with your webcam and upload it immediately, all from within your browser window
  • mobile uploads. using your cell phone provider’s sms to e-mail gateway or e-mail account, you can send messages with picture attachments that will be posted to your account when received
  • no-login-required access to your foto:blip profile
  • rss feeds for foto:blip profiles
  • more coming..

stay tuned for launch information.
