Default Posting Pictures on/via Twitter
Hello everyone,

I am not sure what I am wanting to do is even possible - but have a client asking (b/c they think they have seen it), how to post a picture on twitter and have the picture appear in twitter - but not as a link. I have done a little searching on the net but pretty much all I find shows twitter pictures posted via links. Am I just missing the boat on posting pictures directly into the twitter posts or is there not a way to do this?

Thank you all for your help. I appreciate it.

Michelle

How do I post a picture to Twitter?

Twitter doesn't offer an official picture posting feature of its own, however, most people use a third party application (a popular one is TwitPic) to post pictures to Twitter accounts. Check out other photo and video apps on the Twitter Fan Wiki here! Note: Twitter doesn't officially support Twitpic or other third party applications, but you can usually find them on Twitter (follow TwitPic here) to get help or find out the latest updates! (from Twitter Support FAQs - http://help.twitter.com/entries/1392...sked-questions)

Thanks for your notes. We are using TwitPic, but my client wants to have the pictures post directly to twitter. I don't think this is possible with any of the third party apps I have seen, but my client thinks there is something out there as it's something the client has indicated to have seen on twitter. Again, I can't find anything, but that just maybe means I haven't found it yet.

I've been on Twitter almost two years and haven't ever seen a picture posted directly in a tweet or in my Twitter stream. Where/How would it post? There isn't enough space and the boxes only allow for characters/text not for files which is what an image would be.

If you found a third party app that does this, please do post back and share what it is. I've used http://twitwall.com/ that can be used as a sort of Twitter blog equivalent where you create "posts" that will go out on your Twitter account and works like a blog sort of where you can have your posts kept historically. You can text, images, and even video all to your Twitwall post and then it will tweet the post for you. You can also set it to re-tweet the post a couple of times.

I haven't been able to find anything that would suggest that I could post pictures on twitter directly, so am thinking that possibly my client meant that the pictures posted from twitter were posted in the facebook update - not as a link but as a picture. I am wondering if the picture needs to be posted directly to facebook first and then that gets posted to twitter. I'll keep you all posted as to what I find.
