09.09.2009 – San Diego, CA – TweetPhoto, a photo sharing platform for the real-time web, today unveiled its partnership with TweetDeck, a personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now across Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.
This new partnership extends and enhances the reach of TweetPhoto’s unique photo sharing experience to the user base of the most popular and widely used Twitter client. The integration as the default photo sharing provider into TweetDeck’s desktop and iPhone applications is the first of two phases in taking advantage of TweetPhoto’s feature-rich and expansive development platform.
“TweetDeck is the gold standard when it comes to innovation around the real-time web,” said Sean Callahan, Co-Founder of TweetPhoto. “We are excited to have partnered with the leading company in the space who sees our developer platform as a way to enhance the user-experience in their application.”
The TweetPhoto developer platform offers companies, like TweetDeck, over 35 APIs to extend and enhance the photo sharing experience within their applications. The RESTful APIs include everything from being able to favorite, vote and comment on a photo to getting geo-tags, photo streams and friend’s photos.
“We made a strategic decision when we started the company that we wanted to build a robust photo sharing platform; not just a website. By making a photo sharing platform available to developers we are allowing them the freedom to creatively tie our functionality into their applications. We have seen everything from Adobe Air applications, to mobile integrations to iPhone apps being built off of our Photo sharing API,” said TweetPhoto co-founder Rodney Rumford.
Since the launch of TweetDeck, in July 2008, this is the first time the company has changed the photo sharing default provider on its desktop application. In addition to being able to upload photos to TweetPhoto through the TweetDeck browser, users will also be able to preview all photos shared through the photo sharing platform.
Starting today, TweetPhoto will be the default photo sharing service provider in TweetDeck. Existing TweetDeck users must change their photo sharing preferences to TweetPhoto in order to take advantage of the benefits and features this partnership offers.
