The other day we were dining at the PhilBrook Museum and the phone interference on their stereo speaker was deafening and highly annoying. They eventually had to turn the speakers off. The waiter looked at us knowingly and remarked, “it’s the phones”…IMHO, it sucks to have to turn off the nice background music for the entire restaurant just because the phones (and my iPhone seems to be a horrible offender in this regard) spew signal like it’s going out of style.

I heard of a “fix” today over on Bubblicious (yeah, it’s a little like duct tape) for stopping speaker interference. It’s a pretty easy adjustment to make when you’re getting crosstalk on your speakers.

• Cut an iPhone-sized rectangle of aluminum foil
• Set your iPhone on it when you aren’t using it

The latest version of SnapTweet now supports auto-Tweeting based on a Flickr tag. Simply go into your SnapTweet profile and save an “Auto-Post Tag”, perhaps something like snaptweet would be good. Then you just tag your photo in your mail with that tag and voila, your photo will be picked up and tweeted. For those of you who want to post everything you mail in to Flickr onto your Twitter stream, just set up a Flickr default tag to match your SnapTweet tag. Bingo bango!

Also, due to the awesomeness of the Flickr API, the all new Flickr video also works with SnapTweet automatically. Now to me, it’s that kind of magic that validates the way the app is designed to leverage Flickr and Twitter to their fullest extent. There is much more to come on that front.

In an attempt to address any burning questions you may have about the service, I’ve taken the time to write an extensive help document on SnapTweet. So please check that out for some more detail.

I really appreciate you using the service and feel free to let me know if there’s something you’d like to see. I have tons of ideas, but not a lot of time, so I am having to prioritize big time.
