Sharing photos and images on Twitter just got a whole lot easier — DesktopTweet for Windows opens the door to sharing anything you can see on your screen (or a section of it) on Twitter. This will be a huge asset to graphic designers, illustrators, video editors, 3D artists and those in the visual field who need to quickly share a comp/still of something they’re working on. However, the biggest benefit may be seen by everyone else. Since you are able to select a portion of your screen, you could share a level of an online game, video still from a funny viral video, or share a photo from any web site you find interesting.

Easily configure DesktopTweet to launch using the printscreen key and you have 1-click access to photo sharing goodness at your fingertips! Included with the 1.0 release is TwitrPix integration, bringing the total to 7 photo sharing services you can use now.

For more information on DesktopTweet and to download (it’s free!), visit www.desktoptweet.com and be sure to follow @TimOliver (DesktopTweet developer).

Spark Booth + TwitrPix = Good Times

A photo booth is a good time regardless of how old or young you happen to be. I know I’ve taken some classic picts in a good ole’ photo booth at the Jersey Shore or Coney Island throughout the years. I even may have some funny ones of Cando’s Co-Founder, @centcreative laying around on my desk somewhere. Definitely good times.

So imagine our surprise when we got an email from the developer behind Spark Booth, John Wu. Spark Booth is an Adobe AIR app that lets you set up your own photo booth anywhere you happen to have a computer (w/ a web cam) and an internet connection. What makes Spark Booth really interesting is that its tied into the social ecosystem of Twitter. So besides being able to shoot 4 up photo strips and postcards that you can store on your local hard drive and print later, you can have them shared on Twitter using TwitrPix in real-time.

Run it in a fullscreen kiosk mode, add a custom image or logo for your party or event, customize the on-screen messages and you’re good to go. People line up with their friends, press the space bar and wait for the countdown timer to capture the moments. The photos are shared on Twitter using TwitrPix and guests can even add their Twitter username so they receive an @reply with a link to the photo.

Download Spark Booth (Windows / Mac OS X) and give it a try.

Twitter Down – 12/18

Unfortunately, Twitter is currently down as it has been hacked and they are taking steps to bring everything back up. If you’re experiencing issues with logging into TwitrPix or sharing photos from a Twitter-based app, you will be experience problems as well. All Twitter-based apps, TwitrPix included, require that Twitter be up and running. When they’re down, unfortunately, everyone is too.

I’m sure the folks at Twitter are hard at work resolving this issue.

EDIT: 2:19am EST – Twitter appears to be back up now.

Today marks a very important milestone since TwitrPix was quietly released into the wild earlier this year. While we have been extremely busy adding new features and functionality not present in competing services, we just saw a Facebook post that really surprised us. A recent vote by the readers of Mashable, the internet’s most respected voice in Web 2.0 & Social Media news, has placed TwitrPix on a very special list — Top 10 Twitter Photo Sharing Services.

What makes this list really amazing is that Mashable’s readers have voted it above other sites which are more popular. Although we did come in 10th place, we here at Cando can’t really complain. We are definitely in some very good company and appreciate all of the support Mashable’s readers and especially our TwitrPix users have been.
