Inspired by the Loading images from a directory with PHP article, I whipped up a slightly more advanced version of the original script.

If you happen to use imgur as your preferred image hosting and sharing service, you'll appreciate Imgur Mushroom. This little open source app allows you to tweak and upload images from your Android device to imgur with consummate ease.

If you want to give your visitors the ability to share specific text snippets from a web page without relying on third-party services, then MASHA is just the ticket.

Social sharing buttons are de rigueur accessories these days, and there is a myriad of services that let you add sharing widgets to web pages free of charge. But using these often allow third-parties to collect information about your visitors. If you don't find that thought all that appealing, consider using shareNice.

It's not immediately apparent how exactly the drag2up extension works and what it actually does: once installed, it doesn't add any new buttons or menu entires. But the extension doesn't need to expose itself, because it does its job in the background.

If you happen to host your own photo gallery using Piwigo or Gallery and you use an Android device, you have almost everything you need to replace TwitPic, yfrog, or any other third-party mobile photo sharing service with your own DIY solution.

Photo sharing services are a dime a dozen these days, but Min.us stands out from the crowd for two reasons. Firstly, it makes the process of sharing photos ridiculously simple. Secondly, it offers software for the Linux desktop and the Android platform, so you can share photos directly from your machine or mobile device.

Proposals wanted; travel fund pledge campaign in progress.
