Today, the ShakeItPhoto 1.1 update was finally released into the wild fixing a few bugs and adding one awesome feature. The ability to take any photo from your library and polarize it. ( Thank you Nick Campbell! ) Also because of this feature, iPod Touch users can now share in the fun of polarizing their favorite photos. I’m sure this will open the door for even more awesome photos and postings!

Also, we are very close to releasing the ability to post multiple photos at once as well as a few little bug fixes. Please shoot over any suggestions or feedback you have for the site.

Keep shooting and keep posting!

With the new 3.0 iPhone update Apple released, you now have the ability to tap and hold on a email address located on a web page and it will give you the option to “Create New Contact.” Use this to your advantage. Go to the upload page on PhotoShakeDown, tap and hold on the post@photoshakedown.com email address. A menu will pop up and then hit, “Create New Contact.” Put in PhotoShakeDown as the name or company, and add one of your personal ShakeItPhoto polaroids as the contact photo to make it look pretty! This way, when your addressing an email to us, just start to type photo, and our address will show up first! Simple as pie!

Anyways, it’s been real exciting to see all the sweet photos being posted that had been taken with the sweet 3GS iPhone camera. I personally can’t wait til I get to upgrade. Thanks for everyone that is posting and making the site what it is! We have more gift cards coming up!

700 Polaroids Posted Since Launch!

PhotoShakeDown is just exploding with new polaroids everyday! Since the launch of the site, fellow lovers of ShakeItPhoto have posted over 700 polaroids to our site and counting! It’s amazing how much you can love photography with just an iPhone & ShakeItPhoto!

We need to celebrate!

To enjoy this moment we thought we would give away a $15 dollar iTunes gift card to the uploader of the 700th polaroid! (What a cute dog right?)

Congratulations Taz Goldstein!

We’ve just put in the mail an iTunes gift card which will allow you to buy new apps, songs or even movies for your iPhone or Mac! Check out Taz’s twitter account or his website!

Don’t worry! More prizes coming!

Be sure to keep an ear out for more announcements about contests and prizes in the next coming days. We have more iTunes cards to give away and even a sweet “secret” surprise for the 1,000th polaroid posted.

Happy Posting!

New Features!

1. Today we’ve released a new feature. When a photo is posted successfully, you’ll now receive a confirmation email. The email will contain the link of the photo you posted and encourage to come back to check for ratings and comments.  Also, it’s a great way to share the link easily right from your email.

2. Now photos will automatically post to twitter as soon as they are posted. No waiting to share your link via @photoshakedown. All photos are still under close watch. We plan to add a “Report” button for inappropriate content.

Coming Soon…

Also, there is a rumor about iPhone 3.0 software will have the ability to email multiple photos at once and this makes me real excited. So coming soon will be the support of multiple photo uploads right from your iPhone.

Last but not least, contests and prizes are coming soon! So keep your eye out for that perfect shot!
Well that is it for today’s post! If you have any questions/comments/suggestion please email us at info@photoshakedown.com or just put it in the comments! Happy posting!
