TweetPhoto Opens Platform, Twitter Developer Community Profits
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 23, 2009 -- TweetPhoto (http://www.tweetphoto.com), a free photo sharing service for Twitter users, today announced it has opened up its entire development platform to the Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) developer community while at the same time releasing its Developer Revenue Program. The company is incentivizing developers to explore its expansive API and add support for its photo sharing service by creating what was once a non-existent revenue stream for Twitter developers.
"The Developer Revenue Program (http://www.tweetphoto.com/developer.php) TweetPhoto offers is unmatched by any photo sharing competitor on Twitter," Jonnie Hallman, Founder of DestroyTwitter. "The ease of TweetPhoto's API and willingness to consider developer requests made it a hands-down choice as DestroyTwitter's default service."
The company is offering developers 100% of Google AdSense revenue for making TweetPhoto the default photo sharing provider within their application. TweetPhoto has also setup multiple channels of technical support to help answer API integration questions about its new platform with a developer group, wiki, and telephone support free of charge.
"We are very excited to open up our entire photo sharing platform to the Twitter developer community," said Sean Callahan, Co-Founder of TweetPhoto. "We offer developers the most expansive and complete photo sharing API available within the Twitter eco-system and provide them a financial incentive to work with us. This is just one of many ways we are now supporting the Twitter developer community as our business model does not revolve around advertising."
The platform was built as a true REST API, focusing on being lightweight and performant, supporting both XML and JSON. Guillermo Proano, Founder, Chunky Chicken Apps, "The new TweetPhoto API will allow developers to focus on fun, interesting and exciting Twitter photo sharing experiences. I think you will see a multitude of new ways to discover, aggregate and share photos on Twitter."
"We were able to add the TweetPhoto service to Twittelator Pro (http://www.stone.com/twittelator) in a matter of hours because of its standard API," said Andrew Stone, CEO of Stone.com. "TweetPhoto gives our users another solid and quality photo tweeting site and benefits Twitter developers too."
Some highlights of the feature sets within the API include:
