If you’re on Twitter, we just made it easier for you to tweet about all the cool work you’re showcasing on Shutterstock, and if you haven’t taken the plunge into the Twittersphere – we invite you to join us.

Shuttertweet gives you the ability to instantly send out tweets regarding new images added to your portfolio. Shuttertweet will also update the Twitter community with your download count each day.

Plus, we added your referral ID to the Twitter urls so if someone makes a purchase after clicking the link, you’ll make a referral commission!

Here’s how the tweets will look:

- I sold 10 images today through @shutterstock! My gallery is here:
http://www.shutterstock.com (link to your gallery will be provided in tweet)

- I just got 10 images accepted to @shutterstock! Check out my gallery
here: http://www.shutterstock.com (link to your gallery will be provided in tweet)

To sign up, login to the submit site and click the option under "Make Money" (or click here: https://submit.shutterstock.com/admin.mhtml#shuttertweet ) and then connect your Shutterstock account to your Twitter account, which will approve us to send the tweets on your behalf. You can deactivate Shuttertweet at any time.

We look forward to seeing you at: http://twitter.com/shutterstock

Tweet you later!
Your Friends @Shutterstock

Sounds great, but I would love to choose between different kinds of tweets, like:
- only tweet uploads
- only tweet downloads
- only tweet latest uploads if activly clicked a button

Because automatically tweeting all downloads would enable competitors to see quite good how much one is earning.

Bye,
Robert

I love automation in its many forms, so I think this is a pretty cool offering.

However, for those of us who aren't particularly active submitters but would like to try this anyway, I'd like to make sure of one thing... if there aren't any downloads on a given day, will it report that I had zero downloads, or will no tweet be sent? (The latter is clearly preferable.)

It would be nice to be able to customize which tweets are sent, as the daily d/l count tweets are less interesting (to me) than the newly-accepted images tweets.
