Yfrog, a popular service from the guys who made Imageshack for sharing pictures over Twitter, now has a standalone application for Android and BlackBerry. The app allows you to view tweets from followers and people you’re following, check messages and mentions, and, of course, upload pictures and videos. The Android version is a tad more full-bodied, as it allows you to queue multiple uploads, include geotagging information, and upload high-quality videos up to 15 minutes long.
Usually, other Twitter clients include Yfrog in its list of integrated picture sharing services, so it’s a little confusing that Yfrog has decided to create something of their own rather than just allowing other developers do the heavy lifting. Download Yfrog for BlackBerry by going to toolbar.imageshack.us/blackberry on your mobile browser, and for the Android folks, go to toolbar.imageshack.us/android.
