Snapshot Serengeti Talk

Sharing actual images not just the links

  • kathelpingID by kathelpingID

    I would like to have the image show in a tweet rather than just a link to the Discussion page with the image. Is there a way to do this?

    I've tried tweeting both from the Classification page & the Discussion page but they both work out the say way ... a link to Discussion page with image.

    Having the image appear directly in the tweet would generate more interest in the project, I think. At the least it helps people see these wonderful animal in their native habitat & maybe help inspire others to care about Earth's environment & it's inhabitants.

    edit: I should say is there an easy way to do this without having to Save the Image, compose tweet, then attach the image to my tweet?

    In the span of 17mins I got 4 retweets by 3 different people on 2 different photos, by having the photo show up in the tweet .. while I got none without it. It just takes longer to Save the Image & attach to a tweet than it does just clicking the share on Twitter button. Plus less time spent classifying.

    Have never used twitter, so cannot help . Perhaps one of the @zooniverse team could help ? 😃

    Thanks tillydad, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing for those special images I like to share. 😃 People seem to like them & I say to think of them as a safari from your home. lol And to come help classify since it's fun, unexpectedly amazing & helps science.
