Three iPhone apps for your mobile multimedia tweets

VR + Voice for Twitter/Facebook...
When I first started my journalism job at Montgomery Media, I was obsessed with two things: NPR and podcasts. VR + Voice for Twitter/Facebook/Blogger/Myspace may not be the easiest name to type into your iPhone app store but it is the easiest way to produce audio snippets which can then be shared to social media outlets.

Simply record your audio snippet, whether it be a political speech or your own on-location report, press share and you're done. You've just shown your boss how innovative you can be.


iVideoCamera
Not all of us have the iPhone 3GS, but now you can shoot and share video even with your 3g using iVideoCamera. This app is the most basic of video recording apps, you simply press record, point and shoot.

This app does have an optional HD feature but I've found that it doesn't work on the 3g. Further, this app only allows video to be shot in the iPhone's vertical position. Nevertheless, this app lets you shoot low-res video that can be shared to almost any social media outlet including Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.


Kyte Producer
Here's the photographer's Ustream. Kyte Producer is an app that allows its users to produce slide shows via your iPhone. Capture and add photos on the go then preview and post. You can even add links to your slide shows to pull followers to your latest blog post.

The down side of this app? It doesn't have the ability to add audio to your slide show. The upside? When the iPhone SD card reader extension is released for Apple mobil devices, you will be able to post high-quality photos in realtime.
