Twitxr Adds Post By E-Mail Feature

It's been a fantastic 24 hours for Twitxr! We've got lots of people joining and sending us suggestions. We've already implemented one of them. Post by e-mail!

Post by e-mail

Post an update just sending an e-mail to your private address

1. Enter your location as the SUBJECT of the e-mail
Twitxr likes the google maps format, like "Carrer del Carme, 19, Girona" or just "New York, US"

2. Type the update text as the BODY
Remember, 140 characters or less

3. Attach the picture
Use a standard e-mail attachment. Most mobile phones can send pictures taken from the camera by e-mail.

4. Send it to your private twitxr e-mail address
The address should be kept private, and it can be regenerated at any time if you think that someone knows it.


How it works?

Each user is assigned a unique and easy-to-remember email address. It's displayed on the settings page. A new one may be generated at any time if you think that someone knows your address.

You can post text-only updates, picture-only updates or both. Be sure you send it as plain-text.

The post errors are replied to via the user e-mail provided to twitxr, not the e-mail box where the mail was sent (This is done for security reasons).
