Twitter and Flickr: two great tastes that taste great together. And like peanut butter and chocolate before them, they're exceedingly simple to slap together, thanks to the new feature from the Flickr team allowing easy posting right to Twitter. If you've been using Flickr to post images to a blog or images from your phone already, you'll be familiar with how this works. For those who haven't tread those waters yet or anyone who'd like a quick runthrough, read on for a step-by-step setup how to.

Add Twitter to your Flickr account

1. Head to the "blogs" section of your Flickr account:

2. Click the "Add another blog link" and you'll be prompted with a dropdown to select what type of "blog" you'll be adding, although in this case it's actually your Twitter account:

3. Click the "Next" button and you'll be prompted to next authorize Flickr to access your Twitter account for posting purposes:

4. Click the "Go to Twitter to authorize button" and you'll head over to the Twitter site, where you can Allow or change your mind and Deny:

5. Click Allow and Twitter will approve the access request and redirect you back to Flickr, which lets you know you're ready to Tweet:

6. Now that your Twitter account is set up you can tweet individual photos from your photostream as well as send images directly from your phone to both Flickr and Twitter at the same time.

How to send photos from Flickr to Twitter

This process works exactly the same way as posting images to your blog, if you have one set up already. There's a control in the bar atop each image in your photostream that says "Blog this." Click the button to get a dropdown menu of all the blogs you have associated with your Flickr account, including your Twitter:

How to send photos to Flickr and Twitter from your phone

If you've sent pics from your phone to Flickr before, this works exactly the same way but with a different email address. The address to send to a blog is typically xxxxxx2blog@photos.flickr.com, with the new send to Twitter addresses coming in the form of xxxxx2twitter@photos.flickr.com. You can check your "Upload by email" settings section of your account to get the proper email address:

Simply use whatever email client and account you have set up on your phone to mail images to the 2twitter address and the image will post to your Flickr photostream as well as to your Twitter stream:

Happy Flickr-Tweetering!
