Watch out Twitpic! Flickr now allows its users to automatically send out a tweet whenever they upload photos through email. If you follow me on Twitter, then you probably notice I prefer to include photos with my tweets. I’ve been doing this with Twitpic on Nokia phones, but I no longer need it thanks to Flickr Twitter beta.

Setup

• You’ll need to authorize your account here: www.flickr.com/account/blogs/add/twitter
• Click on “Head over to Twitter” then “Allow.”
• Note the email address. You can simply send an email over and it will work, but I suggest bringing this info over to Pixelpipe so you can tweet from your Nokia phone using Share Online.

Why Flickr over Twitpic?

• If you already use Flickr, you no longer need to use another service like Twitpic to tweet your photos.
• Twitpic lets you view a resized photo plus the original size, while Flickr allows 6 size options.
• Flickr shows other useful info like the camera used or geotagged locations. Twitpic supports neither.
