Is there an easy way to post links to pictures I upload to my Flickr page to my Twitter feed without having to cut and paste links?
Flickr has all sorts of photo-sharing options with other social-media services. To more easily share the photos you post on Flickr with your Twitter followers, log into your Flickr account settings page. In the Sharing & Extending area of your account page, go to the Twitter icon on the list and click the Connect link on the line next to it. Supply your Twitter name and password and agree to authorize Flickr and Twitter to communicate with each other.
In this same Sharing & Extending list, you can also link Flickr with your Facebook, Pinterest or Tumblr accounts, as well as with several popular blogging services. (If you ever want to break the link between Flickr and another site, return to your account page, click Edit next to the service you want to ditch and then click Remove Connection.)
Now, when you upload a new picture or photo set to Flickr from the Web, click on the Share menu on the page. In the menu, click the Twitter icon to post a special Flickr link to the image or album for your followers. (You can also hook up other social media accounts from the Share menu by selecting a service from the list and following the instructions on screen.)
If you use the Flickr app on your iPhone or Android phone to take and post photos on the go, select the Twitter option on the Upload screen to simultaneously send a link for your followers. Some third-party Flickr apps may also be able to post photo links to Twitter, too.
If you do not have a smartphone, you can also upload to Flickr and Twitter at the same time by way of a special e-mail address. Flickr has instructions for tweeting your photos by e-mail and more information on its other photo-sharing features on its site.
