How To Upload Pictures To Twitter

As a technology, Twitter only allows you to upload text of up to 140 characters. But many of us would understantably like to be able to upload photos that we have taken to Twitter as a quick and easy way to show them to friends.

The easiest way to do this is using the free service at Twitpic.

For a pleasant change, you don’t need ot sign up for this new service all over again and enter dozens of details about yourself, confirm your email address and all that rubbish. Instead, Twitpic is interfaced with the main Twitter site itself, so if you already have a Twitter account, you also already have a Twitpic account whether you know about it or not.

You can upload pictures to Twitter using Twitpic in three main ways.

Firstly, you can simply log into the Twitpics site and then select the “Upload Photo” option at the top of the page. Find the picture you want to upload on your computer, create a short message and then upload it and bingo! it will go live on your Twitter page.

Secondly, you can send pictures through to your own unique email address which means you can upload pictures either by email itself or by sending them from your cell phone.

Lastly, a number of third-party Twitter applications will allow you to upload pictures using the Twitpic interface.
