TwitrPix Express for Firefox — Goes Public

Just got word from the good folks at Mozilla that the TwitrPix Express for Firefox addon has finally hit “public” status. When the addon was submitted to Mozilla, it had to go through a review process which are done by volunteers who have donated their time (ed note: if you have Firefox or JS development skills, please consider volunteering). After a few weeks and some bug tweaks, the addon became officially “public.” No longer will users see “Experimental” — the scarlet letter has been removed.

What makes this really important is that there are no other photo sharing sites for Twitter except TwitrPix with their own Firefox browser addon. Not only does this show our commitment to really letting users share media the way THEY want to, but it also shows our commitment to looking at Firefox as a platform for growth.

Give TwitrPix Express for Firefox a try. We’d love to hear your feedback.

Tweetree Integrates TwitrPix for Inline Photo Viewing

111593_scr_thumbWe think its important to allow users to experience TwitrPix outside of the .com site in as many ways as they like, using whatever app they already use. Which is why its exciting to see that Tweetree has integrated the TwitrPix API and allows you to view TwitrPix photos inline to your tweets. Typically when viewing tweets, you may see a link to a TwitrPix photo. However, using Tweetree’s web interface those photos are now shown to you within the context of the tweet — without having to visit another site. Besides photos, Tweetree also supports a number of other content providers like YouTube videos, Flickr, Qik videos and more.

Want to see what inline photos look like? Try searching for TwitrPix.

Screentweetr Integrates TwitrPix

screentweetrOne of the really cool things about Twitter is the diverse types of applications which tie into the Twittersphere — Screentweetr is one of those.

Screentweetr is an Adobe AIR application from James Ford and Mark Starling from Psyked that enables you to quickly post screenshots to Twitter image services (like TwitrPix). What’s really interesting is that for developers and web designers, it gives you keyboard shortcuts to quickly take a screenshot and upload it.

Using Screentweetr, you can screenshot the entire desktop, a selection of your screen or a specific application window. Once you capture your screenshot, you can have it automatically uploaded to TwitrPix and shared on Twitter. Very cool.

You can download Screentweetr for free on the Adobe AIR Marketplace. For a list of apps with TwitrPix integrated, click here.

Enjoy.
