There’s no doubt that Twitter became a more personal place the second people started to share photos & videos from around the globe. But as the Web evolves, the need for services that allow Twitter users to send pictures in real and short time is important simply because the whole meaning of Twitter is: what are you doing NOW. So the more a service makes it easy for its users to send a quick picture to Twitter, the more it will be worth using. Needless to say the more features each service has the better.
Here are some great tools that already allow you to do exactly that. Here’s the list of the hottest services around, and their benefits.
http://twitpic.com enables you to post pictures to TwitPic from your phone, their API, or through the site itself. If you have a Twitter account then you already have a Twitpic account. All you need to do is to login to Twitpic the same way as you login to your Twitter account and you’re all set. The pictures saved in your TwitPic gallery, and you can re-share it and watch it later as much as you want. Additionally you can see how many watch the picture, and you can comment a picture, and it will show up on your Twitter account directly. Currently the service supports only pictures.
http://twitgoo.com Twitgoo is a PhotoBucket project offers image/videos upload, and twitter posts in a short, easy to use form. Again, just sign up with your Twitter account and you can start send you media (photo & video) to Twitter directly.
http://yfrog.com/ A service from ImageShack, yfrog – Will let you send picture & videos directly to Twitter attached with the note you want to say.
http://www.tweetphoto.com TweetPhoto lets you share photos on Twitter and interact with any user or photo. Users can upload photos by email, mobile or web, see who viewed any photo, favorite or retweet any photo, filter photos by Twitter or Facebook friends, automatically publish photos to Facebook, and search photos and see trending tags.
pic.im
http://pic.im/ pic.im is a nicely done service from tr.im for sharing images within services like Twitter. Like tr.im, pic.im collects and then presents cool graphical reports for your shared images, such as how many times they were visited, from which locations, and referred by which websites. With pic.im you know exactly how many people clicked to see your images, and from where.
Recently, Flickr added the ability to send pictures from Flickr directly to Twitter via Flickr account or via email. When signing up to the service at the first time, a user gets it’s own email address, then he can send pictures to email that will show up on his twitter profile.
And then there’s our service – 2tweet. We might not be the prettiest apps among them all, but we sure have some added value in the features.
We simply allow people to tweet multiple photos & videos directly from their email.
We know what you think: From my email?!
Yes, from your email.
Meaning, you’ll be able to simply forward to twitter the pictures you get in the mail, even if it’s more than one picture. You can blend photos with videos and send them all in one email: twitter@2pad.com 2tweet will do the rest. You’ll be asked to give your Twitter password only one time, and then you all set.
Please follow the instruction carefully here: http://www.2tweet.com and if you have any suggestion to improve the service or a feedback, we’d love to hear from you!
