TwitrPix in “Best of Desktop File & Image Sharing Tools”

Posted on February 7, 2011 by _JT

The good folks over at Hongkiat.com just compiled and published their “Best of Desktop File and Image Sharing Tools” and TwitrPix Express for Firefox was mentioned in the Firefox add-on section. Very cool to be included on their list as they are a highly respected destination in the design/dev community and we’re all really big fans here at TwitrPix HQ. So it was quite surprisingly to see it flow into our RSS readers.

“Um, did we just get mentioned on Hongkiat?” After reloading the page a 2nd time to be sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me, “(expletives intentionally removed) Yeah!”

Please head over and read the full article at Hongkiat.com. Many thanks for the nod.

Want the browser add on? TwitrPix Express for Firefox. For Google Chrome users, we have you covered as well with TwitrPix Express for Chrome. A little birdie in Cupertino says there’s something for Safari users coming soon as well pretty soon.

Twitter Movie Spoof

Posted on August 13, 2010 by _JT

We’re sure by now that you’ve seen the trailers for “The Social Network” — the movie about how Facebook got started. Well, since we’re a Twitter-based app and this happens to be extremely funny even if a parody, here’s a Twitter movie spoof for you to enjoy:

Vindicat Lustrum + Netherlands = 12,000 Poses in 12 Days

Posted on July 26, 2010 by _JT

We here at TwitrPix HQ love when we see interesting ways of using social media to connect people. One of the most interesting uses was at the recent Vindicat Lustrum celebration in the Netherlands this month. Spanning from July 8-21, this event was part of the 195th anniversary for the Vindicat Atque Polit student organization. Over the 12 days, thousands of people joined the celebration by posing over 12,000 times in 3,013 photos.

How was it done? Using the Spark Booth app which we covered here, a computer, and a webcam, a kiosk was setup running Spark Booth in kiosk mode. Attendees simply had to walk up and pose, and their photo was instantly shared on Twitter using TwitrPix.

The event ended on the 21st and if a picture is truly worth a thousand words, then the last photo of the event seems to sum up the mood of having to leave.

Einde = End

Grab a drink, sit down and flip through some really great photos. We need to note, however, that these photos may not be entirely suitable for all ages or the work place.

Tweetatorium + TwitrPix + Android FTW

Posted on February 25, 2010 by _JT

We love simplicity and we’re big fans of the Android OS. So its pretty exciting that we’ve received word from Carl Declerck (@Tweetatorium), the developer behind Tweetatorium, that version 1.0.7 has just been released into the Android Market with TwitrPix integration.

So we did mention simplicity, right? Tweetatorium works by becoming a natural extension of how you capture and view photos on your Android-based phone. Once you save your Twitter settings and choose TwitrPix as your photo sharing service, you’re done. Any time you take a photo or view one from your album, just click the “share” button and select Tweetatorium from the “Share picture via” menu. Type in your status update and click the upload button. Because it is tightly integrated into Android, you don’t have to wait for the photo to upload. You’ll receive an alert once the photo and status update has been sent.

For more information on Tweetatorium, download it (it’s free!) from the Market on your Android phone right now. Be sure to follow @Tweetatorium.
