Do you hear that? A collective sigh of relief across the phonese user base.

Ok, maybe not, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’ve finally released it. Phonese3 got to a point where it was working better than the current version so I released it. I’ll continuously add to it which means you should expect the next feature in 2014 given that the world doesn’t end in 2012.

With the new release, there are a few things you should know.

• Real user accounts. You have a username and password now. You’re going to have to contact me (twitter, jabber, irc, email, phone) to get your password. You won’t be able to submit pictures until you log in and find out the new address to submit to.
• The email to submit pictures has changed. Everyone has their own unique e-mail address to send pictures to. This will enable you to allow multiple addresses to submit pictures to your account. Also, you can control what addresses the system will accept pictures from.
• The Blackberry Pearl works. If you used a Blackberry Pearl, or probably any other Blackberry for that matter, phonese2 didn’t work for you. It will now.
• Your email address and avatars. Sign up for a gravatar account and add the private email address you have in your profile. The public email address is just if you want people to contact you.
• latest.php The address has changed. It’s now http://phonese.cx/api/latest/?username=username
• Bugs and Feature Requests. Throw them in the trac. http://code.twi.gs/phonese3
• User Subdomains They were fun, but served no real purpose. Also not using them turns phonese into a big content site. Maybe one day it’ll get some page rank from the google.

That’s all I can think of right now. I’m sure there’s more. At some point I’ll throw up an FAQ.

Enjoy.
