Pickle, a next-generation video and photo sharing service, recently unveiled their Pickle Channels. (The sheer magnitude of the sexual innuendo you could derive from that one phrase makes my head hurt.) These Pickle Channels (I'm trying really hard to behave myself here) allow users to broadcast (or insert, if you will) media directly to just about any website. Right from their mobile phones.

Here's how it works: Channels are basically portable media galleries that can be displayed anywhere, and can be updated from computers as well as cell phones. You simply set up a channel, fill it with videos and photos, and then embed the entire channel of content anywhere you like, on social networking sites like MySpace, into your blog, or onto virtually any other site. And every time you add to the channel it automatically updates everywhere it is posted -- instantly. No more waiting to come home to bore your friends with vacation pics... you can do it while you're still there!

All kidding aside, there are some powerful ways this can be used, not just for social applications, but for business and marketing applications as well. Since each channel has a unique email address, anyone can easily add new items on the fly. So while you're giving a presentation to the bosses in the conference room, your sales team can be on the ground in several cities, posting photos and videos of the new product launch. As it's launching.

Or just use it to send a picture of your ass to your old college roommate.
