Before you post any images read the rest of this thread
Okay now it's time to have fun. We all have these amazing phones so I think we need a fun way to really get into them. So i'm starting up The Hunt. Basically it's a scavenger hunt. Every 48 hours I'm going to post a list of ten items. Everyone will go out and take a picture of those ten items, then post them up here. I don't work here so I cannot offer any prizes, but who cares the reward is something else to be doing while blujackin' some fool!!!!
So the first list is below. Please to maintain some order don't post until you've got all ten photos.
[If anyone out there want's to work with me on making this into a site send me a private message]
1) Ronald McDonald's Glove
2) A Matrix Reloaded Poster
3) A Custom License Plate (i.e. it spells out something)
4) A Mobile Relay Tower
5) A Crowded Mode of Public Transportation at Rush Hour.
6) A Bellybutton Ring
7) A Harley Davidson
 A Headline About George W. Bush
9) A Stock Ticker
10) A Stray Animal (no identification tags)
Alright. It's 11am EST. You have until 11am EST on Wed.
Guess I could make sure this is something folk would be into, but I was thinking with the crazy P800 bunch I couldn't go wrong...

A Headline About George W. Bush.....
Doesn't open up the competition much for the UK users  |

Doesn't have to be front page news. I'm sure W. is got a quote in just about every newspaper around the world. Prolly says something like... (deciding not to put my own politics out there.)

Figured out a cheap and efficient way of doing this through this camblog service at textamerica.com. So basically if you go to http://thehunts.textamerica.com you'll find the page for The Hunts. The list is there so that you can check it out there as well. Now instead of posting your images here, you can send them directly via MMS or email one by one. So you're walking down the street, pass a McDonalds, snap a shot of Ronald's glove and send it before you reach the wendy's on the next corner. Images should be sent to thehunts.itson@tamw.com with a subject that names what the item in the picture is and a name for yourself.
This keeps things closer to realtime. Maybe later be able to implement some sort of counter or something like that to make it faster, funner, cooler... I'm open to suggestions. |

if your host supports some server side scripting language (php, asp, coldfusion, jsp, whatever) then what you can do is create an app that will post the things that we should be hunting so when it displays the list, also have it display the timestamp when it was posted.
Then have another app that lets user register their nick and can upload their pix after that (or maybe even an app that automate the handling of emails sent to the address you've given -- extract the pix from the email and get the item name/sendee from the subject line)
Also include the timestamp as when the image was uploaded so people can see how fast how the person was able to get the pix from the list (=
ps.
I have to agree with mathibus that 48 hours is too short to get all these pix.
