Furtiv, a new service for easy Sharing
Twitter has mostly replaced my RSS feeds as *the place* to find scoops on cool stuff. Take for example this new service that @Adonisdemon of AdonisMobile pointed out today : Furtiv.com
Furtiv integrates with Share Online on your Nokia to allow easy one-click uploads of pictures and videos to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Status updates for all of these services are also handled by Furtiv. If that wasn’t enough, Furtiv also adds shortcuts for Facebook, Twitter and Flickr to your S60 homescreen, so you can easily check your friends status updates.
Point your Nokia webbrowser to furtiv.mobi to download the ShareOnline settings. Furtiv works with many current Nokias that support Share Online. I’m trying it on my 5800MX right now. Follow me on Twitter, and I’ll let you know if it’s better than PixelPipe, my other favorite Share Online service.

thanks for the review. Here are two cool things to try with furtiv:
1. Enable geotagging in your Camera app (Options->Settings->Record Location) and all your uploads to FB, Twitter, YouTube and Picasa Web will include your location
2. Click on the Twitter entry in Share Online and you will see a feeds of your Twitter timeline, mentions and direct messages http://bit.ly/ShDCD. You can preview http://bit.ly/13vckP and browse http://bit.ly/LwPSQ the contents. On some devices you will get a count of new entries on the home screen. There is a setting to define how ofter you wants these feeds to refresh.
