Is A Photo-Tagging
Tool For Twitter
Similar to Facebook photo-tagging, users are able to
host photos on the img.gr site and tag each of their
friends using their Twitter usernames.
img.gr is launching in April of 2009,
shortly after San Francisco Startup Weekend.

TAGGING
To tag a user in a photo, click your cursor on the
desired selection and resize as needed. A scrolling
box will automagically appear once you’ve clicked
the image, allowing you to select the appropriate
Twitter friend.
The tagged selection in your photo will link to
the correlating user’s profile. There will also be a
link to the user’s profile in the list under the photo
containing the tagged users.
PHOTO PAGES
Each photo page has a unique URL for easy linking
and displays the following:
Single photo
Relative timestamp
140 character description
List of Twitter users tagged (if any)
PROFILE PAGES
Each user will have a unique Profile page named in
accordance with their Twitter username.
Profile pages display:
Username
Link to their Twitter profile
URL as defined on the user’s Twitter profile
List of others the user has tagged
Thumbnails of photos uploaded by user
IMAGE STREAMS
The user’s Images page is a chronological display of their
uploaded photos.
This page allows a user to easily:
See thumbnails of their 20 most recent photos
Edit the description of a photo

Notify Twitter user(s) they have tagged them
