Twixxer Cool New Twitter Tool Rocks

By Steve Renner | June 16, 2008

Twixxer is a new plugin that lets you to put pictures and videos on Twitter. You will need the plugin to actually see them on your Tweets.

This is from their site:

“Twixxer is a photo and video sharing component for Twitter.com users who are normally restricted to text-only updates that contain links to media. It is comprised of a browser add-on and a web service. Firefox users with the Greasemonkey extension can install a user script that adds functionality to pages on Twitter.com. Users can upload photos and receive a short URL to include in an update. The URL is a link to a large version of the photo, but anyone who has the tool installed will see a thumbnail under the updates on Twitter.com. With videos, users can paste the URL of a Viddler or YouTube video and receive a shortened URL that will display a video player for users to watch the video without leaving their stream.

What happens with users who try to view your updates without the tool? They get the same experience they would usually get, clicking through to see the content. If they click through to view the content, they will see a link to download and install the tool.”

Twitter is the popular Social Networking site.
