Yesterday we released My Twitter and My MailDrop for Skitch.com. These two new services can be found in your Skitch.com account settings.

Once you setup My Twitter and generate your My MailDrop address, you have many new ways to share your images; be they photos from your mobile phone, photos, screenshots or drawings from Skitch.app (the Skitch desktop application) or Public images on Skitch.com.

iPhone to Skitch.com & Twitter

Capture an image with your phone camera, email the photo to Skitch.com using your special MailDrop-for-Twitter email address.The image will be posted to Skitch.com, a “tiny url” will be generated and a message will be posted to your Twitter account so all of your followers can view the image you just captured.

Elapsed time from when you saw “it” happen, to showing everyone you know what “it” looked like … 15 seconds.

Skitch.app to Skitch.com & Twitter

If you have an image in the Skitch desktop application that you want to Twitter about, you have at least two options to achieve your goal.

Option 1: Use Webpost to upload the image to your Skitch.com account.From the webpage that now hosts this image, click the “Send to Twitter” box in the right-side column. Send your message to all your followers.

Option 2:  Use the “Mail this image” function (Command-Shift-M) in Skitch.app to send the image to your email application. Address the email to your MailDrop +Twitter address. Send the email. The image will be posted to Skitch.com and a message will be automatically sent to all of your Twitter followers.

Elapsed time … 15 seconds

Using email to send images captured using any email capable device (including mobile devices, laptops and desktop computers and online webmail) is super powerful. Combine the power of email, image creation/capture devices and micro-blogging platforms like Twitter and you can communicate & collaborate with a powerful visual voice.
