Twitxr: It’s Like Twitter, but…with an X

Filed under: Review, cool_web_sites, photo_imaging - 21 Feb 2008

Twitxr - Logo Twitxr is like Twitter with photos...except Twitter can do photos. Twitxr also lets you post messages to go with your photos, and share them with your friends....except Twitter can do that too. OK, it's another Twitter. To its credit, Twitxr does have some features other services are missing: It comes with an iPhone native client, location guessing without GPS, and tools that let you republish your status and messages to your Facebook account and...over to your actual Twitter account.

Twitxr promises a few things we've heard before: the ability to take pictures with your phone, post them to the service for everyone to see, update your status or post a short message to your friends, and automatically share it with anyone who has you listed as a friend. If this sounds familiar, you're probably thinking of features Twitter already offers. But Twitxr is focused mostly on photos, and gives you tools to re-publish your photos from Twitxr over to Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter.

Twitxr - Feed

Twitxr's focus is on mobile phones, and it offers an open API so developers can create apps and plug-ins. The service also supports location guessing, so you can post a photo and not have to have a GPS-enabled phone for the service to get an idea of where you are. It may not be perfect, and definitely doesn't work as well as GPS, but it does make the service attractive for older phones. Similarly, Twitxr allows you to post directly to your Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter profiles instantly, as soon as you post.

The trouble with Twitxr (other ...
