メールで写真付き記事投稿

使い方だけ知りたい方はここに飛んでください。
この機能を紹介する前にミライガイアのちょっとしたおさらい。
ミライガイアとはMIRAI株式会社が開発している多国語対応パブリシング、CGM、通販プラットフォームである。世界で最も使われているソーシアルメディアサービスと連携し、コミュニティーを容易に管理出来る。
ミライガイアは、グッドスマイルカンパニーをはじめ、COSPA、コトブキヤ、BANDAIやジャパンタイムズ(2010年2月下旬立ち上げる予定)が使っている。dannychoo.comやフィギュア、ドールとオタクコミュニティーサイトFigure.fmもミライガイア上で動いている。
ミライガイアの新機能「メールで写真付き記事投稿」できあがり!写真をメールに添付して送るだけで、ミライガイアはそのメールを読み取り、記事を作ってくれる。しかも写真複数枚の添付でもOK!
先ずはfigure.fmのユーザーがこの機能使えるようにした。
今のところ、認可されたユーザーのみが使えます。認可されたユーザーとは、ある程度の写真記事を投稿したユーザーの事です。たとえば、写真をFigure.fmに投稿し、その記事はすぐにTOPに現れた場合は、そのユーザーは認可されたと言います。

- プロフィール編集の"Post By Email"タブをクリック。Figure.fmの場合はここ。
- "Generate New Email Address"をクリックし、あなただけの秘密のメールアドを生成する。
- "Go to Twitter to authorize"リンクでTwitter認証をすると、メールでアップした画像のURL先は自分のアカウントでTWEETしてくれる。
- 写真付きメールを秘密のメールアドに送る。数秒後には送り先のサイトのTOPに現れる。
- この機能についてもっと知りたい場合は、記事の続きを読んでください。

Twitter認証すると、Figure.fmが自動的にアップした画像のURLをTWEETしてくれる。

秘密のメールアドを生成したら、"Post By Email"タブはこんな感じになる。

Aquabeatさんはこの機能をテストして頂きました。メールの件名が空白のであれば、サーバーの時刻がタイトル変わりになる。

AquabeatさんがiPhoneから写真付きメールを送り、数秒後にFigure.fmにアップ。
http://www.figure.fm/post/en/7599/2010-02-03+16+44+14.html

ここではこの記事をアップするためのメールを作成しているところだ。

- 秘密のメールアドはその名の通り。秘密なので、2次元のお友達以外に誰にも知らせないでください。もし知られてしまったら、「Generate New Email Address」をまたクリックすると、新しい秘密のメールアドが生成され、以前の秘密のメールアドが使えなくなります。
- この機能を携帯から使いたい場合は、この秘密のメールアドを自分の携帯宛に送ってください。
- 30枚までの合計10MBまで対応しています。
- メールの件名は記事のタイトルとなり、メール本文は記事の本文となる。
- 写真貼付メールを送ったら、数秒後に送り先のサイトのTOPに現れます。
- アンケートやYouTubeのコードも使えます。たとえば、
[poll=1265029467670]なのはかわいい?:はい:とても[/poll]
と
[yt=YouTubeのIDをここ]
- 一つの記事には複数のアンケートを入れる事が出来ますが、その場合はアンケートのIDをユニークにしてください。
"poll=なんでもユニークなID"
- 記事のカテゴリーもメールで設定出来ます。本文に[cat=カテゴリーのURLコード]
たとえば、
[cat=figures]
[cat=dollfie]
[cat=otaku]
他のカテゴリーに投稿したい場合は、カテゴリーのURLコードを使ってください。
たとえば:-
http://www.figure.fm/page/ja/post/all/figures/all/all/all/published/1.html
の場合は「figures」
なので、
[cat=figures]
- 記事を非公開のまま投稿したければ、メール本文に[visible=false]を入れてください。
本文の例はこんな感じになる。
なのはのかわいい写真。
[cat=dollfie]
もし全然動かない場合は次の原因が考えられます。
- 1GBの添付ファイルを送ろうとした。
- 変なものを添付した。JPG、GIFやPNGのみ。
- 古い秘密のメールアドにメール送った。
- 画像添付していない。
- メール送っていない。
- ノートの電池切れた。
- 停電した。
- メールを送るための携帯やパソコン持っていない。
- 写真を封筒にいれ、秘密のメールを封筒に書いた。
- キーボードがないから、メール打てない。
- ディスプレがないから、何も見えない。
- 全然違う人にメール送った。
- インターネット接続がない。
- 手錠かけられ、メール打てない。
- あおいちゃんはあなたのこと好きじゃない。

Subtle hint that McDees will move to Mirai platform? Or did I just read too deeply into it?
Thanks for the feature, should allow for more user generated content now that it can be put up on the fly.

Heh, I may do this for future purposes. Though I wonder if there's a way to do captions under each pictures through email or not.

Not at the moment - how would you suggest it be done considering this is aimed at mobile usage.

If a member is busy waxing his dolphin and never specify a category, it'll by default go to the "Non-figure" and "Otaku" section. Members posting dolls and figure might need to take note of this.
Right now all the text are shown in one lump, will we able to select which text goes under which picture?

and one more thing, my e-mail signature gets posted as well. That is fine, we can always take that out ourselves but sometimes, the e-mail provider like yahoo mail attach their own yahoo advertising stuff at the bottom of every outgoing mail. That get posted as well. Will figure.fm be able to filter that out? Or any yahoo users can tell me whether the advertising thingy can be turned off?

http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
Cant do anything about the sig on this end.
Please suggest how to implement blurb for each photo.
if we knew the file name when attaching the photos to the mail then we could use code like [photo1.jpg=this is a pic of dolphin]
銀河帝国五〇一軍团 TK/TD 8316 M.E.P.D. 軍曹/Droid Hunter

[photo1.jpg=this is a pic of dolphin] sounds good. Will we be able to test it out? ^^;

I guess this is exactly what I was thinking for doing the caption under the picture. Though it may not work if you want to add a link under the picture. So I'm thinking if it's possible to do a general code for each photo. So [photo01]Blurb goes here + [url=http://linkylink.lnk]link[/url] if needed[/photo1]
Not sure if that will work or not though.

Problem is that mobiles (like iPhone) dont show you the image name.
Pseudo-Graphic Designer, 触手 wrangler, H-Man
http://lightningsabre.blogspot.com/
I don't mean calling it by the image name, but making it a generic First Photo coding so you don't even need to know the file name. So [photo01]Blurb[/photo01] automatically goes under the first photo while [photo04]Blurb[/photo04] goes right away under the fourth picture. Is this even possible?

This is pretty sweet. just tried it out. Must be attached picture documents tho. None of that attach via web URL (like the option u see in GMAIL). Awesome feature! But how do u organize ur text after every picture if u attach more than 1 pic?

Super cool! I could definitely upload more... if I had an iPhone. Too bad I can't put my pictures from my digi cam into my iPod Touch so I can "Upload via e-mail". Don't want to just put text into my posts. (Apple should of added the camera to the iPod Touch, anyone else agree?)

As a blogger that's started about a few months ago, I just posted posts as I felt like. But recently I decided to spread out my posts so I don't run out of ideas so quickly. Unless I have many things to blog about, I do about 2 posts a month or every two weeks. That way I also spread out the views my blog gets so I get constant views rather than a bunch one day and none the next.
Wow. Feels like Danny is offering more and more fancy services that it's beginning to overwhelm my simpleton understanding of the internets already. XD
I thought I had an idea what Web 2.0 is all about, like blogs, Facebook, Twitter, but after reading this post, I now think I'm only fairly literate when it comes to internet social networking.
Absolute no offense intended Danny, love your effort in using these new technology to promote life in Tokyo, though I would like to ask if you could post in even easier to understand English to explain your Mirai Gaia products so that thickheaded people like me can join in the fun as well?
I may want to introduce this interesting concept to my friends and even relatives, and I would need to understand what on earth it is I'm introducing to them, you see. ^^

Cool feature!

Not sure if comments is the place to post about bugs or whatever, but just needed to state this out.
the POLL code via email seems to cause problems when u try to edit it from the website. Invalid BB code, so the post refuses to save. I tried to add TAGS and found this problem. Just my 2 cents really >_<
CEO MIrai Inc
http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
What code was you using?
Interesting, automatic post by email,
perhaps you should add a little security, enable the post-by-email in 3 modes :
mode 1 : Post is visible by default (unless set invisible in the email)
mode 2 : Post is invisible by default (unless set visible in the email)
mode 3 : post is always invisble whatever is set ine the email.
A little choice button would permit the user to choose which mode is associated with the email when he create the email.
Your mail server should catch all the email-post type address and never bounced any email, else it can be used by spammers to probe for a 'existing' post-email type address.
C.
The mode 3 ad more security, in case the email address is published, it's owner just need to 'remove' the few invisble spam and remake a new email address, instead of having visible spam on the website.

Is this a language tag? So you can post multiple languages in one post? If so, would you mind explaining the syntax for that?
