TwitPic – This is one of the most well-known Twitter tools for sharing photos. Perhaps that is because TwitPic is dedicated to sharing photos on Twitter. That’s pretty much all TwitPic does. Upload your photo, create a tweet to go along with it and TwitPic will shorten the URL and update your Twitter profile with a link to your TwitPic photo. Others can leave comments on TwitPic or in response to the associated tweet.
Twitgoo – Similar to TwitPic, Twitgoo is a simple service for sharing images on Twitter. Upload an image directly from your computer or type in an image URL. Include your message and a message will be posted on your Twitter profile. The link provided in the tweet directs back to your Twitgoo profile, which includes the basic stats around your shared photos. Recent and popular activity is featured on the homepage.
Twicli – With a focus on media-sharing and interactivity on Twitter, Twicli is a little more feature-rich than basic photo-sharing tools. Multiple file types are supported, including images, video and audio. Tag friends and followers in uploaded media for a personal sharing touch versus a basic tweet. Create sets and customize your newly organized files shared on Twitter.
