How to Hook Flickr to Twitter

If you want maximize exposure for your photos, you can hook your Flickr account to your Twitter account. Flickr provides a sharing service that lets you add your Twitter account; if you use it, each time you upload a new photo, Flickr automatically posts a tweet with a shortened link to your Twitter profile. You can also post photos that are already on your Flickr photo stream to your Twitter profile.
