If you have a basic mobile phone that doesn’t offer apps or even a decent web browser, you can still upload and publish content on to your favorite websites using just the email program on your phone. There’s more. You can write tweets, upload files to Dropbox, convert documents, post videos, get dictionary meanings of words – all through a simple email message.
Here’re some useful email addresses that you should save in your phone’s address book. These will also come handy when you happen to be at a place where access to certain websites – like Twitter or Facebook – is restricted. You can get around those restrictions by pushing content through your email program.
1.secret@ blogger.com– Previously known as Mail2Blogger, your Blogger’s blog has a secret email address and any message sent to this address will be published directly to your blog. You can post text and images upto 10 MB in size by email to your blog. You can find the email address inside the Mobile and Email settings pane of your Blogger Blog.
2.secret@ photos.flickr.com– Your Flickr account offers a unique email address, you can email your photos and videos to this email address and they’ll show up in your Flickr account almost instantly. The address can be found in your Flickr settings page.
The subject line of email becomes the photo’s title while the body of the email becomes the photo’s description. You can also specify the privacy level of your upload via email itself. For instance, secret+public@ photos.flickr.com will make your uploads visible to everyone while secret+private@ photos.flickr.com will upload the photos privately.
3.secret@ post.wordpress.com– Like Blogger, you can also publish posts to your WordPress blogs by email. The email subject is used as your post’s title while the message body and image attachments will become the post’s content.
You may also insert shortcodes in your email message to configure the tags, category, slug and other aspects of the published post. For instance, [tags a,b,c] will apply new tags, [slug your-slug] will change the default slug, [delay 2013-01-01 11:30:00 EST] will let you schedule a post and so on. Go to the My Blogs section in your WordPress.com dashboard to configure your secret post by email address.
4.secret@ m.evernote.com– You can use email to file notes into your Evernote notebooks. The title of the email subject becomes the title of the note in Evernote and you can also include hashtags in the same subject line and they are automatially assigned to your note. You can use the @ symbol to send the note to a particular notebook.
For instance, an email note with the subject line “Expense Report @travel #spain” would create a note titled Expense Report in your Travel notebook, tagged with spain. Your Evernote email address is located in the Settings tab on the Evernote website.
5.secret@ m.youtube.com– If the YouTube app on your mobile phone doesn’t support video uploads, in the case of Windows Phone users, you can still upload mobile videos to the YouTube website via your email program.
