Send in photos or videos by phone or email
When you joined Land Surveyors United, a unique Add By Phone email address is assigned to your profile on that network. You can use this address to send photos or videos, one at a time, to your LSU. If Twitter
is enabled on your profile, you can also post Add By Phone content to Twitter by checking the box. If your cell phone has a camera and email, this is a great way to add photos or videos to your LSU profile while in the field! Any photo or video you send in to your unique Add By Phone email address will be added to the network and attributed to you.
Here is How You Do It
To find your Add By Phone email address, click the "Settings" link in the right column of the page. At the bottom of the page locate the "Mobile Uploads" section. You'll find your email address under "Add by
Phone." It should look like a combination of your name on the social network and a few numbers, and the domain will be the @landsurveyorsunited.ning.com
When you send in photos or videos using this address the subject of your email becomes the title of the photo or video and any text in the body of the email will be added as the description. The subject will
show up in your Tweet if you elect to post to Twitter.
This is just one of the ways that LSU can make your surveying life a little more interesting. Use this trick/hack when you're out in the field doing what you do best. You can always edit and add to the descriptions the next time you log into LSU. If you're an experienced surveyor and/or saavy tutorial creator, this is an excellent way to share what you know from the field and spread the news like wildfire!
