DesktopTweet is a small program for Windows that lets you quickly take snapshots of your computer's screen, and then tweet them up to Twitter in a matter of seconds!

All you need to do is highlight the region of the screen you want to snap, write a quick tweet for it, and then DesktopTweet will handle the rest, uploading it to an online Twitter picture service of your choice!

Whether it's a picture of something you're currently working on, or maybe something amusing you found online, DesktopTweet makes it much easier to add extra visual spice to your tweets, quickly and cleanly!

Once you submit a picture tweet, it gets uploaded to an online Twitter picture service of your choosing, under your accout name. Currently, DesktopTweet has support for the following services:

From Author:
DesktopTweet was an idea I had while working on a project on my PC. I was building a 3D model in LightWave, and thought it would be cool to post a quick WIP shot onto my Twitter account. However, given I had to fire up Photoshop, and then log into the TwitPic homepage before I could even start to upload it, by the time it was actually online, I had already completely lost my train of thought with my model!

So, since the whole point of Twitter is to quickly and easily post small tidbits of info quickly, I figured that there must be an easier way to upload screencaps than doing all of that stuff manually each and every time. So with that in mind, I laid down the code framework of what eventually became DesktopTweet. :)

DesktopTweet Features:
1. Upload your pictures directly to your account on an online Twitter picture service! (Current services are TwitPic, yfrog, Twitgoo, Pikchur and Posterous)
2. Uses multithreaded architecture to quickly and quietly upload your pictures in the background (only harassing you when it has to). ;)
3. Lets you set DesktopTweet to start up on Windows boot.
4. An optional automatic update tracker so you can learn of the latest DesktopTweet updates!

Instructions for Use:
1. Follow the steps of the installer file and install DesktopTweet to your PC.
2. Once you open DesktopTweet, you'll be prompted to enter your Twitter login details. (NB: Your login details are saved locally and are only used when you take a picture)
3. After this, to take a picture, simply right-click on the DesktopTweet icon in the Windows System Tray and choose 'Tweet Snapshot!'. (You could also press Shift-Ctrl-Z on your keyboard.)
4. A grey box will appear. Drag/resize this box around the region you want to snap, and hit 'Enter'.
5. A new window will appear where you can write a tweet for the picture, as well as choose the picture service. Write in a tweet to go with your picture, and select your desired image service, then hit 'Submit'.
6. DesktopTweet will then upload the picture in the background on your PC. (The system tray icon will turn into a green arrow while it is working)
7. When the upload is done, a small popup window will appear in the corner of the screen, displaying the URL of the uploaded piture (This can be disabled in the Settings menu)
