There's a new kid on the block, it’s called
Twileshare and it offers file sharing on Twitter. The concept is not new, Filesocial, Tweetshare and Tweetcube have been doing it for quite some time, but what makes Twileshare different is its scope and user friendliness.
Founded by Danny Bull and Ryan Foster, the nifty little software was launched on December 23, 2010, and has since gone viral in a relatively short space of time. There are now 96,000 mentions of it on Google. Let us examine some of the principle features of Twileshare:
• Users can sign-in using their existing Twitter accounts – no sigh-up required.
• Users can share 20MB of images, videos, PDFs and DOC files at a time.
• Users are allotted 1GB of storage space.
• Free analysis is available, users can see how many times their files have been viewed and tweeted.
• All document files are viewable in a “snazzy” Scribd viewer, i.e. users do not have to download them for reading.
• Viewers can comment on all files.
• Users can download a copy of their uploaded files for back-up.
Despite the risk of being considered a standalone sharing service, with no formal affiliation with Twitter, Twileshare nonetheless is a significant contender on the Twitter file sharing market.
Currently, the invite-only service is in public beta release, so if you want to give it a whirl, go checkout the Twileshare.com for details.
