Share files up to 10MB with Twittershare
Want to share web page links with your friends on Twitter? No problem, just post a link or better yet, shorten it with TinyURL or a similar service so you can share a link without wasting precious characters. But what if you want to share a file that's sitting on your desktop?That's where Twittershare comes in. Twittershare is basically a no-frills Twitter client that lets you do three things:
- Upload a smallish file to a server
- Share a link to that file with your Twitter contacts
- Send tweets to your contacts
Twittershare does not display incoming messages, so it's not a replacement for full-fledged Twitter clients like Twitterific or Twhirl. But if you're looking for a quick way to share files, Twittershare can do that. You can either make your Tweets public or send direct messages.
There's a desktop client available for OS X, and a web client for everyone else. Eventually the team behind Twittershare plans to release a Windows-compatible client based on Adobe AIR.

Share files up to 10MB with Twittershare - Or use Pownce instead.

This looks pretty much like a crappy clone of the Pownce Client.

Yeah, this doesn't make too much sense. I'd rather upload upto 100mb of a file to RapidShare or another hosting services like that and then share the link.
It doesn't look like Twittershare makes things any easier.
