Vote for Tinypic
November 12, 2008
Yeah, the elections may be over and if you missed out or you just miss being able to vote you now have another opportunity. Mashable is hosting an Open Web Awards poll which allows you to vote for your favorite photo sharing site. I think Tinypic should win.
If you do to then please go to the site below and cast your vote! When you get to the page you will be able to select the category (photo sharing) and add the company (Tinypic).
Thanks.
Only one more day until…

Copying Codes…
October 29, 2008
Many of you may be familiar with our little set of code boxes. But did you know if you have Flash installed you don’t need to manually copy these codes?
TinyPic Code Box
All you have to do to copy codes is click the text you would like to copy. The box should look something like this:
TinyPic Selected Code
Once it’s highlighted, you are done! The image has been copied to your clipboard. From there you can take your links and use them where ever you want.
The Ski Season Begins
October 17, 2008
I love this time of year. Two ski mountains in Colorado opened up a couple days ago, which means the rest will be opening up soon. I always look forward to taking pictures and seeing pictures that others have taken on Tinypic. Check out some of what we have currently:
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
Loveland Ski Area
While neither area has a lot of snow yet it does mean we can start getting our legs in shape. It also means that Warren Miller’s next film should be showing fairly soon. These two events together signal the season has begun!
So, send us your pictures. We would love to see them.
How to have fun in a down-turning economy.
October 9, 2008
How else would you be able to enjoy life in a down-turning economy, but to look at pictures. We have all sorts now, especially around politics. There are a lot of creative users on Tinypic, and these pictures are a lot of fun!

Thumbplay? Is that a game?
September 25, 2008
Nope. Thumbplay is not a game (I did think “one, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war.” Then I Googled thumb war and found Thumb Wars!)
Thumbplay is a company that aggregates, promotes, and delivers mobile content directly to members via Thumbplay.com. The site offers music, ringtones, videos, games and graphics through a membership-based, community experience. Kind of like TinyPic.
And now, TinyPic has partnered with Thumbplay so that you can upload images from TinyPic to your mobile phone.
For example, how do you get the perfect picture mobile?
- Go to tinypic.com.
- Open the image that you want to send to your mobile phone.
- Click Send to Mobile in the Tools or Your Toolbox menu. A Download page displays.
- Enter your mobile number.
- Select the checkbox to agree to the Thumbplay terms and conditions.
- Click text me for step 2. The next instruction is texted to your phone.
- Respond to the text with “y” to accept the picture. Your picture is now available on your phone.

Fire in Denver
September 18, 2008
Usually I hear the fire trucks go by and barely pay any attention to them since they are either driving somewhere far away, false alarm, or some medical emergency it seems. Well today was different. There were a large number of trucks screaming by the TinyPic offices. This time when I looked out I saw them stop near the building near us that just happened to have a large amount of black smoke billowing out the side of it. This is new.
Check out some of the picture taken from both a digital camera and cell phone:
