How To Enable Twitter On Your Flickr
Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 2:42AM Flickr is beta testing the ability to tweet photos directly from Flickr. The cool part is that photos are rendered with a short url like this http://flic.kr/p/5Eh2Wz.
To turn on Twitter as a blog on your twitter account, visit http://www.flickr.com/account/blogs/add/twitter (thanks @stevewoolf).
Here are some screen grabs of how it works.
The resulting tweet is: Siesta time for rickshaw drivers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia http://flic.kr/p/5Eh2Wz
Go put put some Twitter in your Flickr.
If you like to post via email, you can assign a special email address to send your photo to flickr and post it to twitter in one shot, making mobile photo tweets via flickr pretty easy.
I think we;ll see this service opened up for use with Tweetdeck, Tweetie, and other Twitter applications later this year.
Like it? Good move by Flickr?
Let us know in the comments.
