The default is to upload your image to your Twitter feed, send the link, that is , but you can uncheck a box so that the photo will just be loaded to Twitpic. You can also choose not to have location data appended to the image if it's available, Click "upload", and you're done. Your Twitter feed will display your comment, followed by a small link.
You can also transfer an image to Twitpic and to Twitter via e-mail; the upload page will provide a unique address to use. Just attach the image to your e-mail , and put your comment in the subject line. Nearly all third-party Twitter applications support image uploading via Twitpic, although some may have another photo-sharing service as the default and you'll need to change it. For example, if you use the desktop version of TweetDeck , go into "settings", click on "services" and choose Twitpic from the drop-down menu.
The same thing is true of both the official Twitter apps and third-party versions for smartphones; it just works a little differently depending on which app you're using and which device you have. With most apps, it's a very simple process; you just tap or click on the camera icon in the screen where you compose your Tweets and choose Twitterific.
Some apps do have limitations; not all of them allow you to include a comment, so check reviews of the application you're interested in to find out what kind of support it provides for Twitpic.
Twitpic is very basic, but there are ways to optimize the service. Find out how to make it your own on the next page. Twitpic not only stores your images, it also stashes away other data, such as your location when you took the picture if you entered it or are using a smartphone to snap your shots, which often adds your location automatically using GPS. When you delete a photograph, it's "no longer viewable" according to Twitpic's terms of service, which doesn't necessarily mean that it no longer exists on the server.
Although Twitpic can be used just to store images, it's more about immediacy than posterity and capturing a moment in time -- much like Twitter itself. Many users employ Twitpic to Tweet images of great meals they've just eaten, a person they just met, something that they just bought or are thinking about buying.
Another way to take advantage of Twitpic when you're on the go is to quickly share and save images; later on, when you have the time, you can pick and choose what you want to keep long term. One interesting way to share your pictures via Twitpic is to link them with an event. On Twitter , events are real-time interactions between users about a topic that last for a specific amount of time. Usually, there's a host or an organizer asking questions and seeking feedback.
There's an assigned hashtag so that anybody participating in the event also known as a Twitter chat or party can easily follow the participants' Tweets.
When uploading a picture from Twitpic's site, you have the option in the second step to create an event, including the title, description and trigger which is a hashtag. Once you build and save the event, it's stored in Twitpic; you can choose it from the drop-down menu to add a picture to it. So-called "citizen journalists" have availed themselves of Twitpic to quickly share photos of important events in real-time, usually before any members of the media arrive on the scene.
One recent example of this happened in , when a U. The first image of passengers being rescued from the plane came from a passenger named Janis Krums, who was on a ferry in the river.
Krums took a photo with his iPhone , then used Twitpic to upload it to Twitter. Within half an hour of sending the Tweet, Krums was interviewed on TV as a witness to the event.
OK, so now you've got some tricks for using Twitpic up your sleeve -- and ideas for ways to use it -- but maybe you're curious about the technology behind it? On the next page, we'll take a peek under Twitpic's hood. In May , Twitpic changed its terms of service. To many users, these changes appeared to state that Twitpic held the copyright to all uploaded images.
Twitpic also announced a partnership with a photo-distribution organization, which can sell images posted to the site. Twitter CEO Noah Everett clarified that users retain ownership and copyright of their uploaded images. However, by using Twitpic, you give the company free license to distribute your images as it sees fit.
