2. Tweet with Multimedia
• Send one or more images, videos, audio and
long messages to Twitter via Twitizer
Uploader, e-mail, MMS or twitizer.com
• The message gets posted as a tweet with a
link back to a Twitizer page showing the full
content

3. Benefits, compared to Twitter #1
• Twitizer messages can contain any amount of text
– Tweets are limited to 140 characters
• Converts e-mails to tweets
– Twitter doesn't support this
• Twitizer is optimized to be a media service
– Twitter is optimized for short notes
• Full-resolution pictures can be downloaded by any user
– Twitter doesn't provide full-resolution pictures, and
pictures are compressed aggressively
• Up to 200 pictures or other media can be uploaded per
message/tweet (currently only via e-mail)
– Twitter only allows 4 (and only 1 via API)

4. Benefits, compared to Twitter #2
• Videos are uploaded to YouTube and referenced from
tweets automatically
• Twitter only references videos, and you need to upload videos
separately
• Possible to edit message texts (both subject and long
message) at any time
– Tweets can't be edited
• If the message has a location, it will be shown as a map
directly on the message page, unless deactivated
• Twitizer Uploader makes uploading media very simple
– Twitter clients are generally harder to use for specifically that
• Messages and timelines can be shared easily to any
destination
