Skimming Images From yFrog/TwitPic Tweets

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Had a client request for Wiffiti that I’m surprised we hadn’t seen previously (at least not that I know of). Instead of just pulling in Flickr images, the client wanted to automatically display images posted to yFrog and TwitPic from relevant tweets.

Extremely simple solution that took me a bit to track down, simply because there were no explicit use cases coming up in my searches:

Pulling Images From TwitPic Related Tweets [via Nerdery]:

TwitPic Tweet: [@joespinelli] Looking good so far http://twitpic.com/bvltx

TwitPic Image: http://twitpic.com/show/full/bvltx.jpg

Pulling Images From yFrog Related Tweets [via Image Shack]:

yFrog Tweet: [@studionumber9] 92 in my kitchen at 7:30 pm is too hot. http://yfrog.com/59ecwqj

yFrog Image: http://yfrog.com/59ecwqj:iphone [use iPhone no matter what platform this is used on]
