I was disappointed to see Symbian Guru’s post about his failure to mobile vlog.
Disappointed because there are currently no solutions on the market that would make this process a little less painful. I want to see him succeed so I did a little bit of research myself and I think I have a solution!
Blip.tv has uploading via FTP:
To upload to blip.tv with FTP, log into ftp.blip.tv with your username and password. When you upload make sure to use binary mode. Most FTP clients will do this for you.
Videos you upload with FTP will be posted to blip.tv as soon as you log out of your FTP session. The title of the post will be the name of the file you uploaded, without the file extension.
They also have this nice feature called cross posting:
Cross-posting is the process of sending a video to a blog or other Web site automatically. It’s usually done on blip.tv from the upload form where you can check off the sites you want your video to go to. You can also set up Automatic Cross-posting for videos you upload from your cell phone and by FTP.
This is great. We figured out that one should upload their file to blip’s ftp severs and then use the web form to enter in some text, click a check box to post to your blog and you’re done!
Wait a minute … there are no S60 3rd Edition FTP programs, however I did this Java application called MobyExplorer on Google. It is $15 and you get free upgrades too!
How well does it work? I’m going to try it right now!
