We all remember TwitPic, right? It was used to snap a picture of the airplane that crashed into the Hudson.
But there are a raft of others that are trying to get Twitterer’s to use them. These are in no particular order.
Radar.net.
Twitgoo.
Img.ly.
2tweet.
Yfrog.
Twicsy.
TweetPhoto.
Picktor.
Pikchur.
Pixim.
TwitnGo.
TwitrPix.
Brightkite.
Ourdoings. (I use this because of its strong real-time integration into FriendFeed and inclusion of location data, which I think is important when I’m using my iPhone to take pictures).
FriendFeed. (you send your photos via email to share@friendfeed.com and it uploads them to FriendFeed, which can then push them to Twitter).
Flickr, now that you can Tweet photos on its service.
Obviously there are WAY TOO MANY photo sharing services out there. I bet only three of these survive and even Flickr, after millions of photos, isn’t making huge money for its owner, Yahoo. So, the key is to be differentiated so that these services can attract an audience.
So, how is TwitSnaps trying to differentiate itself? By offering higher resolution so you can use both DSLRs as well as high resolution cell phone cameras like the new Nokia N97 that’s just coming on the market. They also, this week, are adding video which is something I’ve seen Twitvid.io do so far. In the video I shot yesterday TwitSnaps founder, Simar Sing.
Rev2.org has a good review of many of the Twitter photo sharing services. So does Mashable.
Even those professional reviews aren’t comprehensive, though. They can’t hit everyone. So, which one do you use and why? Are there any others we should check out?
UPDATE: it seems that some of these could run into Trademark issues, so expect names to change. I’ll have more to say on that later. In fact, Leo Laporte owns the trademark to the word “twit” and he’s not happy that people are using that term.
