Because Facebook is slacking on its iPhone app, you can’t yet upload your iPhone 3GS videos using the official Facebook app. However, there is a new app in the App Store called VideoUp for Facebook that lets you upload your iPhone videos to Facebook.
How to Post Your iPhone 3GS Videos to Facebook
You can have your video uploaded in 4 easy steps:
- Buy “VideoUp for Facebook” from the App Store ($.99 as of this writing).
- Open VideoUp and touch “Connect with Facebook” to login to the site.
- Touch “Select Video” and choose “Saved Video” to upload a video you’ve already recorded or “New Video” to record a new one. Wait for VideoUp to trim your video. The step “2″ circle will turn green to confirm that your video has been successfully trimmed.
- Touch “Describe and Send,” write a Title and/or Description for your video and touch “Send.”
VideoUp uploads over a WiFi or 3G connection, unlike some other iPhone video sharing apps that only work with WiFi.
You’ll have to keep the VideoUp for Facebook app open while your video uploads or the upload will fail. This is not a VideoUp problem, but an iPhone one, since iPhone does not let you run multiple applications at once.
Once your video is uploaded, VideoUp does not show a confirmation — e.g. “Your video has been uploaded.” — so log into Facebook to check whether the new video is displayed in your feed.
A Glitch?
I’ve noticed that if you let your iPhone go into sleep mode while your video is sending, VideoUp will sometimes fail to upload the video. If you notice this happening to you, here’s what I suggest: go to Settings >> General >> Auto-Lock and touch the “Never” option. This way your iPhone won’t go to sleep while you upload your video. To save battery, remember to turn Auto-Lock back on after you’re done uploading a video.
How Do You Share Your Videos on Facebook?

There's no question that
Windows 7 promises plenty of improvements over Vista, with one of the biggest being faster boot times. While that's certainly been the experience for some, Iolo Technologies (a maker of PC tune-up software) found some significantly different results in their long term tests, which they say show that Windows 7 isn't faster than Vista at all in real world use. Specifically, they found that while Windows 7 actually got to the desktop fairly quickly, it took a full minute and 34 seconds to actually become usable, compared to a minute and 6 seconds with Vista. They also unsurprisingly found that things got worse over time, with a three-month old Windows 7 install adding a full minute to the boot time, although in that case it did actually fare somewhat better than Vista. Of course, we are talking about complete reboots here, and it's a different story when Windows 7 is simply coming in and out of sleep mode. Details on the tests are otherwise a bit light, but Iolo is promising to release its complete findings next week.

Earlier today I lamented the relative lack of sleep-enhancing gadgets. The Internet answered with these sheets that transform your bed into a giant iPod Touch. I don't think it functions, but it is...

Anonymous Lurker Nobody sez, "The interminable Sam Starbuck, who writes incredible fiction of both the fan- & original- variety, has written what is both a beautiful homage and hilarious send up of T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. It includes allusions to LOLcats, yaoi, World of Warcraft, overzealous iPhone autocorrect, and much much more. Just perfect." Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a laptop, put in sleep mode on a table Let us go through certain half-deserted streets The blinking-light retreats Of restless nights in free-wifi cafes And public libraries with internet Streets that follow like messageboard argument of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming blog post Oh, do not ask, "What, yaoi?" Let us go and post an entry. THE .DOC FILE OF J ALFRED PRUFROCK...
