Tweetshot boosts your tweets by adding Twitter images & screenshots

tweetshotpage

Tweetshot is an Online tool & browser extension for spicing up your tweets by adding Twitter images or screenshots.

It’s no secret that tweets with images get more attention on Twitter than your usual 140 character tweets with just a link. But the problem is that it’s a pain (relatively speaking) to add images & screenshots to every tweet.

If you’re tweeting a link you want to share with your followers, you’d have to take a screenshot & save it to your computer, & then upload it along with the tweet. It’s even more difficult to this when you’re tweeting using a mobile device to post the tweet.

Secondly, Twitter autocrops the photo or screenshot you upload. The picture that people say may have only half the story or might make no sense at all.

Tweetshot attempts to provide a solution to these pain points. It will automatically fetch the image or screenshot from the URL whose link you are posting. Also, you don’t have to use any photo-editing tools to squeeze the image whole & intact past Twitter’s auto-crop if you are using Tweetshot to add the image.

The way it works is pretty simple. You can either use the tool Online through their website, or add it as a Chrome extension to your browser.

If you add the extension, it will appear as an extra Tweetshot button next to the standard Tweet button on Twitter. You can also Tweetshot any open tab on the browser by using the Tweetshot extension button on the top right-hand side of your browser.

If you just want to Tweetshot an image you see on the web, right-click on it & select “Tweet this image.”

Tweetshot was founded by Romain Cointepas, Head of Mobile & TV at Dailymotion. Click here to install the Tweetshot Chrome extension.

new social media management platform

For social media managers & Online community managers, here`s a new social media management platform called Meshfire. As of now, this new social media management platform works only with Twitter.

While there`s already a surfeit of such social media platforms, what makes Meshfire interesting is Ember, a virtual member team member at the heart of its core intelligence. Among other things it`s capable of, Ember uses machine learning as its base & layers on the advice of human social media experts to recommend the best content for Twitter posts.

As the makers of Meshfire have said on their Website: Ember is our artificial intelligence agent and virtual community manager. She helps you filter down the noise to what really matters. Ember is always in the background making sure that, even when you aren’t on Twitter, you don’t miss what’s important.

The new social media management platform has been started with an eye on small business. Meshfire uses Twitter accounts for several purposes, including managing how you log in to Meshfire itself, associating Twitter handles with missions, & associating Twitter handles with team member roles. In short, your Meshfire account may be linked to several different Twitter accounts used in different capacities. And yes, Meshfire believes in collaboration so allows one or many members of your team to be part of the account.

Coming back to Ember: Here`s the many things it can do:

Recommend influencers. Ember takes into account Klout scores, interest topics, etc,

  • Ember recommends people to block.
  • It also recommends accounts to connect with.
  • Ember also allows a company to react to high-profile tweets from a mass of volume.

Meshfire’s growing plugins include Buffer for scheduling Content, Flickr, Feedly, & Surveymonkey for content curation and creation, Bitly for reliable link shortening, & Klout for influence insights.

Though there’s a free trial, there’s only 1 paid plan called the Social Pro at US $8 per social media account per month. It includes all of Meshfire’s built-in capabilities for managing your social media presence by yourself, or with a team.
