  • candieb, on 05/06/2008, -11/+3LOVE Natuba!
  • aaaleman, on 05/06/2008, -11/+3Great find! Thanks!
  • dimplemonkey, on 05/06/2008, -13/+3I can finally shoot something with my iPhone, tap out an entry and blog it immediately! This is exactly what the doctor ordered! If there are other sites like this, I would like to know because they haven't been advertising themselves as much. Great find!
    • trigatch4, on 05/06/2008, -8/+4Who needs advertising win you can hit Digg Frontpage? hehe...
    • tms8707056, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3Flickr has been doing this for a while now. You can upload from your mobile to a special email address and it will even post it directly to your blog. Why would you want to go with some new second rate (at least to Flickr) photo site. Flickr is the largest phoso sharing site on the net and already has these features.
    • EvilDoer, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1http://www.mobog.com
  • louiebaur, on 05/06/2008, -10/+2Awesome
  • trunkboy, on 05/06/2008, -8/+15Yes, Natuba is awesome. Even if every time I see the name, I think of a tuba made of sodium... :D
  • AccuraCast, on 05/06/2008, -9/+28Bit misleading title - i was expecting a photo sharing site owned / created by Apple
    • halogoggles, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3iEcho your sentiments.
    • zongamin, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Why? It doesn't say that in the title or description?
  • christy2456, on 05/06/2008, -9/+2Love it! I want more!
    • skunkman62, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1damn what is with all these spam comments. it reads like cheesy testimonials from a ripoff website.
  • latinspace, on 05/06/2008, -8/+2You should check this out.....very very very very coooooool. Great site to share your pics. It's lke iPhone magic....
  • kurtstoll, on 05/06/2008, -8/+2Hands down the best (and most original) iPhone photo sharing site on the web!

    Yeah! I just added the 100th Digg for this post!
  • changsandy, on 05/06/2008, -10/+2even a computer illiterate like me can figure out how to take a picture and put it online in a matter of seconds! amazing!
  • alligarcia, on 05/06/2008, -10/+2Love it!
  • alligarcia, on 05/06/2008, -10/+1Love it!!
  • rjc5056, on 05/06/2008, -6/+4They can add and develop anything they want, but until I get my flash and the subsequent battery replacement, I'll keep bitching.
    • NotaFanboy87, on 05/07/2008, -1/+0Oh, I get it, you're one of those people who live their whole life yelling at their cat because it isn't a dog. The iPhone is what it is, accept it or don't even think about buying it. Nobody's EXPECTING you to.
  • jennkim21, on 05/06/2008, -9/+2It is fantastic!
  • brutalentropy, on 05/06/2008, -3/+21Sorry, but I don't get the big deal on this... You have to upload the photo by emailing it to a special address, a feature that Flickr implemented a long time ago. I have posted many pics from my iPhone directly to my Flickr photostream, complete with tagging, subject, and description. So, what's the big deal?
    • cwright, on 05/06/2008, -3/+2Natuba is also focused on providing a great browsing experience for iPhone users. Check out natuba.com from your iPhone and you'll see what I mean. Flickr only provides a "mobile" site, but its barely usable.
    • nutmac, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Since this useful feature is buried, here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/

      Natuba is a big no no for those looking to post private photos.
    • BionicPimp, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2the big deal is that flickr has discovered that the iphone is the most popular camera currently available (http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/02/iphone.high ... so naturally the web2.0 model says to...

      1. copy trendy subset of functionality from market leading competitor
      2. make it social. get on techcrunch
      3. ???
      4. profit (by getting some dumb bastard to buy you out)
      rinse, wash, repeat
    • ckentster, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Agreed. Just use Flickr and check your photos out with iPhlickr (iPhlickr.com)
  • pveltrent, on 05/06/2008, -4/+5flickr is the best way to go. iphone doesn't want its own photo sharing site.
  • Skunkhair, on 05/06/2008, -4/+2I love the Natuba. Brightkite is another site that's growing on me. You can do the same, upload and caption from your iphone. It'll also tweet for you sending links to your newly uploaded photo. No iPhone site yet, but the regular site is light enough for the iphone to handle.
    • cwright, on 05/06/2008, -2/+0Natuba now has Twitter integration too. Just go to your account settings (link at the top of every page) and look for the "blogs and twitter" section.
    • eliotphillips, on 05/06/2008, -0/+0BrightKite just released an iPhone site today http://blog.brightkite.com/2008/05/06/the-brightki ...

      BK is an interesting service, but I'd only share a photo on the service if I considered it disposable. Every picture I take goes straight from my N95 to Flickr
  • mzamp01, on 05/06/2008, -1/+1This is cool. I've been using Tumblr, which works awesome with the iPhone.
  • praecipula, on 05/06/2008, -1/+1Well... this is pretty much just like Sharpcast, but less featured, right?
  • mistervenable, on 05/06/2008, -4/+2iThink it's dumb.
  • obey43, on 05/06/2008, -3/+12wow. how man more people are going to register for digg today and LOVE NATUBAFART!?
  • coheedcollapse, on 05/06/2008, -3/+6Wow. If this isn't the result of a blogpost or an all-members bulletin, I have no idea what is. Very generic comments.
  • bumblefoot, on 05/06/2008, -3/+2two things, what is wrong with flickr? they do the same thing and have done for ages
    and why would you want to upload something from a crappy 2mp iphone camera anyway?
  • phunlee, on 05/06/2008, -4/+4whores! you're all whores. Shill-Whores. Even if it was a good idea, which it looks kind of like crap, I will never use it.
    whores!
  • Genetico, on 05/06/2008, -3/+2Link without blogspam please.
  • Snakedal337, on 05/06/2008, -2/+8Digg got owned by the spammars
  • hereisandy, on 05/06/2008, -4/+4Maybe now the iPhone will be able to send picture messages. Am I the only one who thinks apple had a huge oversite in not including such a basic feature
    • pyrates, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1It already can if you jailbreak it. Are you afraid Apple will punish you if you use the device in a way they didn't want you to?
    • NotaFanboy87, on 05/07/2008, -0/+0It's more of a ripoff than a 'basic' feature. Apple's probably duking it out with ATT on this one. Considering it's taken this long, Apple must be fighting pretty hard. I don't think this was an 'oversight.' It's not like they forgot or anything. ATT's probably just being a douche about the fees and whatnot associated with it.
  • EvilDoer, on 05/06/2008, -1/+1http://www.mobog.com has been doing this for 4+ years.
  • gothicform, on 05/06/2008, -3/+4Oh wow! And my Sony camera phone with a 5 megapixel camera and Xenon flash has built in uploading straight from the camera to blogger. Did this ever make the frontpage of Digg? Nah... I guess it's only news when Apple do something years after everyone else. Go on fanbois, digg me down :)
    • luchid, on 05/07/2008, -2/+15 MP camera and a tiny ***** sensor and a tiny ***** lens is nothing to brag about.
  • Tddupre, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3if you have a jailbroken iPhone they have iFlickr which is a great app
  • CRG000, on 05/06/2008, -4/+1You can do the same at my site iTookThisToday.com
    Email your photos to photos@itookthistoday.com
    Other cool features will be launching on our new site in development now
    Check it out diggers
    • Atomic1fire, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Posting an email on digg with submitting photos can only lead to abuse
  • SouthsideIrish, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2I think I would rather keep my Canon G9 in my very large pocket, rather than use the iPhone camera. A good camera, it is not.
  • surfing, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1anyone remember TextAmerica?
  • desperado123, on 05/07/2008, -0/+0Natuba seems to be a copy of Mobog - www.mobog.com
  • thebloodvayne, on 05/07/2008, -1/+0Let's all share photos taken with a crap last-generation camera. Seriously, I'm not buying in unless they improve the camera...
  • mwlundberg, on 05/07/2008, -3/+3I've been using Natuba since late last year. It's constantly evolving, and I'm expecting that there will be even more features implemented once the iPhone SDK goes into general release. The Twitter integration in cool and I like the blog uploading feature - sure, it's been implemented elsewhere - but for me, Natuba just works! Besides, what's wrong with a little competition out there?
  • digjam, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2WEB2.0 is starting to suck now!
  • jt28, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Spam 2.0 argh! Some of those comments were as painful as shopping channel scripts...FSM help us
  • polko, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1good decision...
  • jpe1974, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0Very cool website! Thanks, looking forward to what it will do in the future.
