Splashcast integrates Twitter into new player

Date September 13, 2007

Splashcast, the site where users can create their own media channels using pretty much any media they like - video, photos, audio, text, PDF documents, and even Powerpoint presentations - has announced today that, among the new features, their latest Splashcast player offers inline posting to Twitter.

To show you this in action, I’ve embedded Paul O’Flaherty’s channel, just here. If you click Start, you’ll see a small “t” icon just above the player controls; click the icon and the channel is paused, while a box is displayed over the top for you to provide your Twitter username and password. The message you twitter will include a link back to the channel.

I can’t think of any other site that has Twitter messaging so deeply embedded into its guts; something echoed by Rick Turoczy. Twitter users are used to manually processing URLs they want to tweet through services like TinyURL, or URLTea, but Splashcast viewers can now do this without having to leave the site.
