If you are finding the text only nature of Twitter a little limiting and you want to include your latest photos, well there are now some ways to do it.

The least-fuss solution is TwitPic.com. You don’t need to set up an account, and you can either submit pictures through the website, or by e-mailing in (with a PIN endowed e-mail address). The picture is then posted, and a short-code link posted to your Twitter account.

However, beware with this because since you have no account, you have no control. Which means you cannot delete posted images!

A more sophisticated solution is Twitxr.com. Here you can set up an account, and similarly post by web or e-mail. Posting on the website allows you to include a location for the photo. Twitxr is much more of a picture-centric Twitter site in it’s own right, as there are individual users, and you can all follow each other, as well as having your own public page.

A further advantage of Twitxr being more of a site in its own right is that it can plug into more than just Twitter, it will also post update to your Facebook (and I think even Flickr).

Check them out.
