A revisit to a post that I wrote in May this year which entitled, “Tools: Tweet Your Photos,” urged me to check whether there is any new and yet good third-party photo solution for Twitter, and I’ve came across this img.ly.
On the front page, in fact we can see the user acceptance of tweeters toward this img.ly as there is a photo shared to Twitter within every five (5) minute. At the time of my writing, there are a total number of 43,911 pictures uploaded, and the users have been amounted to 8,252.
img.ly, a Web app developed by 9elements, a Rails developer based in Bochum, Germany, has made it easy for tweeters to tweet the photo directly from its user interface. To do that is very simple, you must log in with your Twitter credentials, choose the image file to be uploaded, then align the image file to the left or right, and enter 122 characters or less, hit the upload and submit button. That is all there is to it.
Likewise, you also can send your image via email, and each account has been given a designated email address that you can send the attached image to it. For every picture you uploaded, you’ll have a basic total view in addition to the date of posted.
