tarpipe of the week
Following a great suggestion by Shawn White, we're featuring one of his workflows, showing one possible use of tarpipe:
This workflow will publish a picture on Flickr and Facebook using the email subject as its title. It will then tweet the flickr's shortened URL using is.gd. Here's Shawn's description of his workflow:
Immediately after I take a picture on my iPhone I email this picture to tarpipe. Tarpipe conveniently and quickly pushes the photo to Facebook and Flickr and then tweets about it.
Instant pictures is no new concept to twitter users, especially twitter users with iPhones, but putting pictures on Facebook and Flickr immediately after taking the picture keeps even more friends and family in the loop about what you're up to. Tarpipe makes all of this easy by just sending one email!
Do you find this useful? Try creating a similar workflow and start publishing pictures from your iPhone easily.
Would you like to be featured as tarpipe of the week? Just send a direct message to @tarpipe!
Wouldn’t it be better to push the Flickr URL into FaceBook?

Thanks for the comment Daniel,
Pushing the Flickr URL into Facebook is also another possibility. In this particular case, I believe Shawn wants to publish the picture in two places simultaneously.
It would be great if you could share one of your workflows on the next tarpipe of the week. What do you think?

How can I submit a workflow? I just wrote you on twitter but how do you know about the workflow design? Do I need to send you a screenshot or can you access it centrally?
