Twitpic allows images up to 10MB, so multi-megabyte gifs and videos are likely to consume a lot more resources than still images.

I have suggested that Twitpic limit still images to a megabyte in size, and resize larger pictures to x pixels. This would fill the average user's screen, and be better than some competitors. However, I've also been looking for an alternative service. Twitpic 's key features are:. This eliminates Instagram and many other photo services.

Twitter's own photo-sharing service, based on PhotoBucket, does not. Someone who comes to look at one image may look at several. There are two obvious alternatives, the first of which is Yfrog. This is not quite as easy to use, and in my experience, images don't download quite as quickly as they do from Twitpic.

However, Yfrog images show up in Twitter, and it does keep a running total of views. The main problem with Yfrog is that there doesn't seem to be a way to save a photo without tweeting it. This means you can't upload a handful of photos at once and tweet them later, as needed. The second obvious alternative is our old friend Flickr , the popular photo-sharing website taken over by Yahoo.

It may be a disadvantage that you cannot log in with a Twitter account, but you can log in with a Yahoo account, and surely almost every IT person has one of those.

Flickr photos show up inside Twitter, which is the main requirement. It also records the number of views, though not in the most obvious place. Visitors can view or download a larger image, if they can figure out how to select "View all sizes", and they can also see previous images in your photostream. Flickr's main drawback is that you can't download original images not even your own without paying for a pro account. However, the images are large enough for most purposes.

You can share Flickr photos to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Tumblr by selecting the service you want from a drop-down menu. This is a quick way to get a shortened link to tweet, even if you elect to do that separately.

Anyone who runs company accounts on several social networks should probably be managing a Flickr account as well. I suspect that this is due to Flickr's origins as a site for storing and sharing personal photographs. A leading-edge research firm focused on digital transformation.
