I operate a web service that watches people's Flickr feeds and when a new picture shows up, it automatically posts that picture to their Twitter account.
It can also be set up to only forward pictures with a specific tag.
The service was enhanced to also route pictures to Pownce.
Since other similar services are popping up, and I have limited ability to pay for other people's web services, I decided to start adding these features to FlickrFan. If it proves popular I can easily add more features here since bandwidth isn't of concern (it's a fully distributed app).
How to...
1. First set up the prefs. (Click this link with FlickrFan running. Screen shot.)
2. When it checks for the first time, none of the pictures in your feed will be posted. Only new pictures are posted.
3. No more than 5 pictures are posted every hour.
4. It checks once every 10 minutes, so the average amount of time it takes to update after posting a new picture to Flickr is 5 minutes. (This number can be configured.)
5. If you're already using TwitterGram, you should turn that one off when you start using this one (otherwise your pictures will be posted twice to your Twitter account).
Please report back here if it works, or if it doesn't.
