Go pro with your mobile phone

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

 

As you know we were a launch partner for Nokia’s Ovi Store back in May this year. We’ve just been exploring their site to see if we can find any advice on how to take fantastic pictures with your camera phone (we know, those ‘captured moments’ on your phone don’t always turn out to be photographic masterpieces). Anyway we came across this nice collection of tips & tricks from Nokia

It gives good, straight forward definitions of the types of effect you can create with your camera phone. If you look really carefully you’ll even see Touchnote stamp in the blog post!

They also claim that this shot was taken on a Nokia N86 - what d’ya think?

We’re helping websites make money

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

 

So, you have a website that hosts photos and other images - wouldn’t it be great to let people coming to your website send any of those pics as a real printed postcard .. to anywhere in the world?

Well now you can. You add a tiny piece of code to your website and a little “send as a postcard” button appears next to the pictures you choose.

If you’re feeling creative, then you can design your own button, like some of our partners:

Now the making money part. For every postcard that’s made using one of your images, we give you a royalty payment. Yes, that’s for every card - so if someone decides to use a single picture from your site on 50 cards, we’ll give you a payment for each of those 50 cards. We think it’s only fair.

We’re also being extra generous - offering a payment of 30% for the next six months. But please sign up before 30th November 2009.

Interested? Here’s some more info about the programme and here’s where you sign-up

Now how about seeing some cards in action…
