You Can Now Twitter Your Flickr
If you're a fan of Internet services with crazy names, or you're sick of messing around with TwitPic, you'll be elated to know that Flickr and Twitter now officially play nice together. Flickr has posted a how-to on their site and we have to admit that it's looking pretty good. And for those of you that have no idea what's going on in this post: Twitter updates can only be 160 characters long, making Flickr links out of the question until now. So, go forth and bombard your Twitter friends with your photos. Seriously, it'll be better than telling them all what you're having for lunch! Oh, and while you're over there, follow PopPhoto on Twitter, too. It's worth it.
FYI, twitter has an 140 character Limit. They use the other 20 characters for some background profile related shenanigans...

"We like to keep it short and sweet! It also just so happens that 140 characters is the perfect length for sending status updates via text message. The standard text message length in most places is 160 characters per message. We reserve 20 characters for people's names, and the other 140 are all yours!"
