Trying out mojungle
mojungle is a new service that enables you to send pictures/photos and videos from your phone to be published on your own or others sites. Sending the info is easy enough: You just send an e-mail or MMS to now@mojungle.com with the content. Publishing is also quite simple: You paste some HTML code (launching a Flash script) into one of your web pages and it's done.The sent content is stored at mojungle, so whoever pastes in your specific HTML code (that has an identifier to your content) accesses the same centrally stored pictures etc. When you send new content it will automatically be available to all that has included your code (a page refresh might be needed though).
You can watch the published content either manually or timed, and you can also download original-sized versions of the content.
The pictures and videos I sent from a Sony Ericsson K608i worked fine. Audio is not supported yet, but according to Ari Mir (CPO mojungle) this will be added later.
The question is if this is just a short term funny gizmo or long term sustainable. In any case rather easy to use as long as you have anywhere to put the script, and it's quite addictive too. A blog does fine for publishing, like this:
Here's a more advanced version of the mojungle player/viewer with controls for slide show etc: Abiro - Mojungle Test Page
