Have a webcam? Want an easy way to take a photo or record video and share with your friends?
Go to yfrog.com and select the “webcam” button. There are three options:
1) Video: records a video from your webcam
2) Photo: smile for the camera, it will take a photo
3) Photo in 5s: as in a photo booth, this feature will count down…5,4,3,2…1 before it takes your photo.
From there, you can add your message and post to Twitter.
Please test it out and let us know what you think. Smile for the camera, it’s Friday!

Yfrog is an easy way to share photos and videos from wherever you happen to be. Here are just a few ways you can use yfrog:
– Most desktop Twitter apps
– Most mobile Twitter apps
– Via email
– Via API (for developers)
– Or the yfrog web site (via URL or upload)
And today, sharing media with yfrog got even easier. We are happy to announce that social desktop clients Seesmic Desktop and twhirl have released new support for yfrog. Click on the camera icon in either client and post your photos to Twitter via yfrog. It’s just that simple.
Download your new copy of Seesmic Desktop here and twhirl here.
To the delight of at least one Seesmic user, yfrog is also available in French.
We are always adding to the list of cool and fun ways to use yfrog. We’d love to hear from you if you have any suggestions. Send your emails to is-marketing at imageshack dot us.

Sharing media just got even easier. Users win. Bit.ly announced on its blog yesterday that it had partnered with yfrog, and we think life just got a little simpler for yfrog and bit.ly users.
Here’s the update:
As early as August 31, bit.ly website users will be able to upload photos via a yfrog-powered service. For users, this will save time by streamlining the media sharing process. Translation: you won’t have to leave the bit.ly site to share your photos anymore.
And sharing media with yfrog is a snap. There’s no registration required. Authentication is simple and secure via OAuth. Reliability and stability is assured via a back-end that has been hosting media since 2003.
Yfrog’s website is getting cooler, too. Yfrog will soon offer bit.ly shortened links from yfrog.com. Bit.ly’s real-time stats will allow users to track yfrog posts as they get shared and clicked on around the social web.
We are accepting nominations for the soundtrack to go along with this blog post. Acceptable: “Simple Kind of Life,” by No Doubt. Not acceptable: “We Are the World,” various.
