There’s a great bookmarklet on Dpatrick Caldwell’s blog (http://dpatrickcaldwell.blogspot.com/2009/08/iphone-bookmarklet-to-install-iphone_06.html) that allows creating bookmarklets on iPhone without the need to sync with safari.

Cheers

Hi Amy,

Thanks – this was super helpful, even to someone with the 3GS and cut and paste!

Two questions – how do I get to the start of really long addresses to do the editing? (is tipping it into landscape the only way, or is there a trick?) AND how do you take your screen shots to make this helpful post?

Thanks, Vee

Copy & paste in the iPhone 3.0 OS will definitely make it easier to get stuff out of Safari.Even still, sometimes its too much overhead to open up another app to quickly tweet a link. I created a service to make it easy to tweet a link (with automatic URL shortening) without having to leave Safari:

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Hi Amy!

Thanks for mentioning gruvr!
I have wanted to make an iPhone app since the first appstore launched… at the moment I have no Apple dev platform, never mind an iPhone to test… still, am actively looking for a way to do it.

Meanwhile, there is a guy in the UK who is building an Android concert-radar app, so hopefully the experience he gets will apply to the iPhone as well.

bye for now, I enjoy your tweets!
