You might not know about it right now, but I have a funny feeling you’re going to become very aware of it before the weekend is over.

The Bricktown H.O.G. Rally (Harley Owners Group) is this weekend (Friday and Saturday) in various areas of Oklahoma City. We built a special page to cover the event on NewsOK.com. There’s also plenty of details about the event on wimgo.

But the primary purpose of this blog post is to have you send us your photos of the event as you snap them over the weekend. We’ve partnered with Share it Live – an iPhone application which was developed and is managed by our own development professionals at OPUBCO Communications Group. We’ve used the API for the application to build embedded functionality on NewsOK.com.

Now, you can post photos on our Hog Rally page or you can upload them through the Share it Live iPhone application. We hope you do a little of both. But we really encourage you to download the application to your iPhone so you can get used to sharing your images in that way.

We want to see how uploaded photos can help us tell the story of an event like this. We know Share it live is a simple way to share photos. It makes sense for us to use that functionality on NewsOK.com.
