establishing a paired connection between the Bluetooth enabled data capture device and the Bluetooth enabled mobile device;

acquiring new data in the Bluetooth enabled data capture device, wherein new data is data acquired after the paired connection is established;

detecting and signaling the new data for transfer to the Bluetooth enabled mobile device, wherein detecting and signaling the new data for transfer comprises:

determining the existence of new data for transfer, by the software module on the Bluetooth enabled data capture device; and

sending a data signal to the Bluetooth enabled mobile device, corresponding to existence of new data, by the software module on the Bluetooth enabled data capture device automatically, over the established paired Bluetooth connection, wherein the software module on the Bluetooth enabled mobile device listens for the data signal sent from the Bluetooth enabled data capture device, wherein if permitted by the software module on the Bluetooth enabled data capture device, the data signal sent to the Bluetooth enabled mobile device comprises a data signal and one or more portions of the new data;

applying, using the software module on the Bluetooth enabled data capture device, a user identifier to the new data for each destination web service, wherein each user identifier uniquely identifies a particular user of the web service;

transferring the new data acquired in the Bluetooth enabled data capture device along with a user identifier to the Bluetooth enabled mobile device automatically, over the paired Bluetooth connection, using the software module on the Bluetooth enabled data capture device;

receiving, at the Bluetooth enabled mobile device, the new data and a user identifier from the Bluetooth enabled data capture device;

transferring the new data and user identifier received by the Bluetooth enabled mobile device to the one or more web services using the software module on the Bluetooth enabled mobile device;

receiving, at the one or more web services, the new data and user identifier from the Bluetooth enabled mobile device, wherein the one or more web services receive the transferred new data corresponding to a user identifier; and

making available, at the one or more web services, the new data received from the Bluetooth enabled mobile device for public or private consumption over the internet, wherein one or more portions of the new data correspond to a particular user identifier.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the new data received by the Bluetooth enabled mobile device comprises one or more of audio data, video data, image data, text data, or digital data.
