Share files up to 10MB with Twittershare

TwittershareWant 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
So any time you want to send a document, photo, or song to your Twitter followers, you can just fire up Twittershare and upload your file. There's a size limit of 10MB per file.

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.
