Tweet Your Photos from SmugMug

by Aaron on August 13, 2009

Flickr isn’t the only service which makes it easy to share photos from your galleries via Twitter. I use SmugMug for my fine art print sales as well as client proofing. I’ve started to put a few other photos there as well, and they make it very simple for a photographer to share via Twitter, Facebook, and some other social media tools.

From a photo on SmugMug, click on the Share button and choose Be Social. From there, choose the Twitter tab (or whichever service you want to use) and go through the authentication process. Enter the message to accompany your tweet, and you’re set! The UI even includes a character count so you’ll know if you’re within the 140 character limit. SmugMug will tweet a link to your photo (with a shortened URL).

I’m a big fan of the professional galleries on SmugMug and it’s great that they have professional-level social media features as well (including some, like Facebook integration, that are missing from Flickr).
