Tagging Flickr photos via email on the fly
Okay, maybe you all knew this already but I didn’t.
I often email photos from my phone to flickr
I created a default tag for all of these photos that come from my phone. It’s called, wait for it…..”cameraphone”.
Then I have Dave’s Flickr-to-Twitter do it’s magical thing
The only problem is that now every single photo i email to flickr goes to Twitter.
Solution?
You can tag photos when you email them to flickr on the fly. In the subject line, enter “tags:[space][tagname]”. Example “tags: cameraphone”
You can have several tags in fact - just separate them with space. Now I have Flickr-to-Twitter still do it’s thing for pictures tagged “cameraphone” and I’ll have photos tagged “tumblr” for photos I want sent here.
Life is good.
