TweeShot launches TwitPic-for-screenshots, wants to become "pause button" for the Web
With the fast moving nature of the dynamic and realtime web “sometimes a pause is necessary”, say the site’s makers. “TweeShot lets us share concrete ‘moments’. Moments that most probably will have already changed seconds later.”
Here’s how TweeShot works today.
After logging in via Twitter, naturally, you simply enter the URL of the web page that want to take a screen capture of (it would be nice if there was a bookmarklet). And, optionally, write a tweet to go with it. Hit preview and the site generates said ‘webshot’, although this can take up to 20 seconds, apparently, especially if there is a queue.
The service is free to use and I’m not entirely sure what the business model is beyond advertising, although it’s possible that TweeShot could charge for commercial use of its API, which would make sense, and possibly roll out premium features, such as more storage space and/or private sharing.
