TwitPhotoFrame

Description of the application TwitPhotoFrame

TwitPhotoFrame turns your iPad into a "Digital Photo Frame" that enables you to view photos and tweets posted by your friends on Twitter.

This app enables you to stay closely in touch with your friends and familes, or see what stars and celebrities are experiencing, regardless of their physical distance, by sharing the moments with photos almost in real time.

Scene 1: My friend is a business woman who is working for a global company. Her dream has been to work abroad as an international business person. She had been working hard till late at night every day, and she showed her commitment through her overseas business trips.
The other day, she received a letter of appointment to move to their European branch in Frankfurt.
It was the moment that her dream had come true, but at the same time, some worries about her life leaving her friends and family far, far behind came into her mind.
She still made her decision to go after her dream, overcoming the worries and sadness, believing that it was not only her own happiness but also a happiness for her family and her friends to move forward to achieve her goal.
Two months later, TwitPhotoFrame was on her desk in her new office in Frankfurt. The photos from her family and friends shows her what they are seeing and what they are experiencing, their feelings and their daily little things, almost in real time, beyond the distance with the 8 hours of time difference.
She is not alone, even with the physical distance - feeling her friends close, she could start stepping forward for her new dream.

Scene 2: My mother is 65 years old. She lives in a countryside with my father. She has always been very healthy and energetic, but last year, her rheumatism started to hurt, and now she has difficulty in walking.
The only way for her to know the outside world had been to watch TV, but now, she has a TwitPhotoFrame in her living room. She sometimes takes a look at it and smiles, seeing the photos from her children and knowing they all are doing fine.
Though her children are all busy for their own work and not being able to take a visit to her or call her very often, but there is no problem to spend a few seconds to take a photo and post it to Twitter with their cellphone. Now as she has a "super power" to see what her children were seeing, they could feel more closely to each other when they sometimes make a phone call or pay a visit.


TwitPhotoFrame is an App to shorten the mental distance.

All you need to enjoy this app is a Twitter account and some friends to follow.

It shows the photos with tweets from your Twitter.

It automatically checks the updates, and loads and displays the new photos and tweets.

Currently it can read images from TwitPic, TweetPhoto, Plixi, and yFrog.

TwitPhotoFrame is designed to be used when you are not using your iPad at your hand. A reccomended way to use this app is to place your iPad on a dock, in a standable iPad case, or on any other stands or cradles that you can place your iPad to be looked just like a real photo frame. (See the screen shot section.)
