Today a new application named Twicli is launched to combine Twitter and photos and even though the idea is hardly new at all, the execution definitely deserves taking a good look and maybe bookmarking it for when you are in the mood to do some more photo sharing on Twitter. The application has been developed by the creators of Picli – a Digg-like social voting sites for photos that we’ve reviewed here before.

The idea behind Twicli is a simple and straightforward one: upload your photos and videos to Twicli and share them and discuss with your Twitter followers. User interface similar to that of Twitter is one of the priorities of the new application so you will most certainly feel pretty much at home on Twicli, especially after they invite you to stick to your Twitter background and colors on Twicli as well.

After users upload their media content to Twicli, other users can browse such photos or videos and comment on them. The comments will be broadcast to Twitter as replies to those Twitter users who initially uploaded them. Support of sets containing photos and videos solves the problem of updating your Twitter stream automatically with numerous links to photos and annoying your followers: here you can upload everything into a set and only update once with the link of the set.

Of course full mobile support is here – after all, it is a Twitter application – so your photos or videos made with your cell phone on the site of some important event will make their way to Twitter instantly if you want to share them with anyone who will want to listen. In addition to that, the functionality of Twicli internal trends (built on tags) will make it easier to understand when something important is going on that many people submit photos about.
