Share your files on Twitter

By Jon Riggall on 28 July, 2009

Stop the presses, it's a Twitter service that doesn't use the prefix "twit"! That already makes FileSocial pretty cool even before you try it. FileSocial is a file sharing service for Twitter, that allows you to share any file up to 50mb.

Using it is simple, you have to allow it access to your Twitter account, then just choose your file, upload it, write a message, and it will be tweeted from your account. You can choose not to tweet directly, and just create a link to your upload. As FileSocial accepts any format, including compressed files, you can share whatever you like, which is excellent. According to their site, there is no expiry date on your uploads, although you can of course delete whatever you upload.

The service is quite new and still in a beta testing phase, but works well. You can see how many visits your link has got, although not how many downloads. Hopefully they will release a desktop application so you don't need to always go through their website. Otherwise, FileSocial looks like a really promising Twitter service.

    Hey Azman - it's working for me. Not that this will be much help to you, I suppose. Could you let me know your location and browser, to see if I can recreate the problem? Thanks!

    I'm in UK using Windows Vista with the latest Google Chrome. When I submit, it just return me to the same thing and change the message I was trying to send to HTML or some kind. The more I click submit the it changes. Thanks, hope that helps.
