Tip of the Month:
Tweeting Photos

Twitter lets users send text-based messages (140 characters or less), but what if you want to share a photo via Twitter? Use Twitpic!

Twitpic is a very easy-to-use website that makes it simple to post a photo in a "tweet" (Twitter message).

In fact, if you already have an account in Twitter, you already have an account in Twitpic! Just log in using your Twitter username and password, choose "upload photo", and follow the instructions on the screen.
