Pictures & url-trimmers

We’re almost ready with the implementation of shortr.me, in a real cool intuitive way, If that is what you like we can implement other trimmers. Now the question, which trimmers do you use and do you want us to add? there are quite a lot of them, but not all of them feature an API.

  • shortr.me
  • tinyurl
  • shor.ter.net
  • kots.nu
  • shorturl.com
  • and loads more

And we found a cool way to display pictures from the three known picture sites:

  • twitpic
  • mobypic
  • tweetphoto

We also want to implement the uploading of pictures to theses services, there’s only one problem, all of these services require the password and username to be sent in cleartext, and since we don’t store the username’s & passwords (but use Twitter’s OAuth API) that’s going to be tricky.

So the plan is, we first implement both the url-trimmer, and the displaying of the pictures, and as soon as one of these three picture services implements OAuth, we will implement that. So If you want to post pictures with TwinterFace, make sure you ask these services for it on their support sites. :-)
