TwitPic Makes It Easy to Post Pictures to Twitter

There's a plethora of applications for Twitter. My recent find (actually have known about it for a while) is TwitPic, a photo sharing site for Twitter.

While you can post via the web, the best part is you can send photos to TwitPic from your mobile phone and they'll be posted as a tweet.

Last night I experimented because I want to be able to tweet photos from BlogWorld and New Media Expo next week.

I sent a photo of my cats and within seconds (really!) a lot of people had clicked through and sent me replies about my boys. People love pictures and they especially love pictures of animals and kids.

I wouldn't normally send stuff about my pets, but I was testing. And, it's a good lesson...

Your peeps want to know who you are. The photo gave a glimpse of my personal life and something that's important to me. It started conversations with some of my Twitter followers who I don't know otherwise and opened the door to future conversations.

More and more it's becoming clear that intimacy is the key to developing relationships with prospective clients. Give of yourself and you'll get back. I'm not advocating sharing every detail about your life. I'm talking about sharing tidbits that help people get to know you as a caring, empathetic, savvy, generous person.
