VisualTWITTER is an app that works across web and mobile platforms allowing users to answer the Twitter question “What are you doing?” by sending a photo from their mobile phone.

Features:

• create “visual” tweets by sending pictures from mobile phone
• visual tweets are displayed on http://visualtwitter.com
• most cellular carriers are supported (all North American ones are)

The Good:

VisualTWITTER is a novel way to tweet in that the tweet itself is a photo, not a photo with commentary as one gets with TwitPic, for example. Users can take a photo with their cameraphone and send it to me@visualtwitter.com. Once all settings are adjusted properly, that photo will be visible to the public.

The Not-so-Good:

We love applications that boast “ease of use” as a top feature, and while VisualTWITTER provides an interesting and different way to tweet, it didn’t feel like the easiest application in the world to use. There are several steps that must be taken before photos are made visible, including validation of your mobile number. If you send photos before you login, you have to activate your mobile under settings and then refresh your browser to see your photos.
