February 25, 2008 Share Online 3.0 and Social Networking Posted by Dameon Welch-Abernathy at 11:36 PM | Categories: Software

When I first started playing with Share Online 3.0 last week, I picked up on something that I felt was important--something I didn't see emphasized all that much. Quoting myself:

Now instead of simply uploading photos, you now have the ability to participate in the social aspects surrounding those photos. It, in a sense, extends the “social” aspects of Share on Ovi and Flickr directly to your mobile handset in a way that I find compelling.

Whether you realize it or not, there is a kind of "social network" around Flickr and Share on Ovi (previously Twango). People see cool media on these services and comment on them. You could always do that from a mobile before, but now you have a much nicer way to do it with Share Online 3.0. It's more integrated. The feeds can automatically update. You get notification of new pictures and comments on the standby screen.

Now you might say that "easy access to comments" is not a big deal. My question is: how is this any different from Jaiku or Twitter, really? If people are posting pictures throughout the day, getting periodic updates, and sending comments back and forth, isn't this similar to the microbloging services?

I get the sense that much, much more is coming with Share Online and Shae on Ovi. I don't have any inside knowledge here, so this is just my guess. What do you think?

Hi Dameon,
I love the concept of share online 3.0 and I had used an earlier version which allowed me to see recent comments, existing photos, etc directly on the native application.
The current app version of share online 3.0 does not show up flixkr for me except for Vox.
I had to get my flickr account config file and retrieve the link. However, now I get options like go to "Go to Flickr Webs" instead of recent photos, comments, etc.
Could you please inform how I could setup the earlier features which actually tempted me to shift to Share online 3.0

Thanks in advance

I have to agree with you,though I never used this service before.
It sounds like 8hands, just for mobile.
