Mobile Diary Service nowthen (Beta) Keeps Addings New Features
nowthen (from the team that brings you multimedia engine Blinkx) continues developing their free mobile/cameraphone/SMS service NowThen. We first posted about the service in early 2007. You can upload and share images or "blast" text messages to a group of friends or colleagues. The service can be used in both the U.S. and U.K. Much more about the basic service in this FAQ. nowthen is a free service. Of course, text messaging or mms (multimedia message service) can cost money. Make sure you understand how you're charged by your wireless provider. Much more about the service in this FAQ.
What's New via the nowthen Newsletter:
+ Get comments on the go - After posting a pic, you can now receive any recent comments as a text message to your phone.
+ To change your settings just text "comments off" or "comments on" to nowthen or do it from your edit account page.
+ Don't forget, you can tag your images. :-)
+ Embed content from your nowthen site onto your blog, web page, MySpace page, etc. It just takes a few seconds using a widget.
Almost forgot. Yes, with nowthen you can determine who can view or can't view images. Private (only you), friends (you form the group) or special groups (for example, co-workers or special groups of friends).
