So, I have a new Blackberry replacing my old Blackberry. The new device has a camera in it, which I never had before in a phone. So therefore I need to figure out how to get pictures from the phone to the various places I put pictures now and understand the path.
Facebook: My phone has a Facebook app - it was even pre-installed. So the camera has a "Send to Facebook" menu entry, which sends it up. Here's a few docs. I've used this already, it's fast and easy.
Twitter. The service that I've seen people use that seems like it works pretty well is Twitpic; it was good enough to capture a plane landing on the Hudson. To make it work, the consensus seems to be that the best way to go is to send the photo via email to your Twitpic address. Haven't gotten that far yet.
Typepad. Typepad has a Blackberry app; haven't tried it yet.
Flickr. There's an existing "email your photos to Flickr" process; Flickr also allows you newly to announce new photos to Twitter. Here's a Flickr / Twitter tutorial. Again sounds like a good thing to work my way through, again haven't done it yet.
overall - my todo list looks like "set up email" next, which gets me Twitter/twitpic; then install the Blackberry app for Typepad; then dig into Flickr's config to post to Twitter. If things work right, I will be able to show things they way they should be.
Check out bbgeeks.com if you haven't yet; they have a ton of stuff, free and commercial.
Got my first Blackberry (Bold) this year; love it to death.

The Tweetie iPhone client for Twitter will grab a photo you select, post it to Twitpic and include the Twitpic URL in your tweet - no need to email the pic first. I don't know if there is a similar client for bb.

You've not had a camera in a phone by now? I thought that was pretty standard for a couple years now.
