Posts through email are on

For all those who have a lot of pics sitting in your gmail inboxes, there is now an easy way to convert them into your timeline.

Today, we announce a feature that I personally like a lot, since it is the easiest way by far to make a post on the timeline. Here is how you do it:

  • Open your favorite email client and compose a mail
  • Add a subject to the mail - this will show up as the title of the post
  • Write your content in the body of the mail - this will show up as the description of the post
  • Attach photos that you want to include in the post
  • Shoot the mail to “me [at] lifeblob.com” from the email id that you used to register for lifeblob

And presto, your post will show up on your timeline in the next few seconds. To keep things simple, there is currently no way to specify a location, tags and participants when you make a post over email, but you can always edit the post once it is on your timeline to add this information.

**Note:
a) Inline images in the email body will not be processed. Images will be processed if they are attachments to the email of linked from a URL.
b) If like me, you have exchanged a lot of photos with friends over email, simply forward those mails to lifeblob to build a rich timeline in minutes.
