What do you get when you combine Disney World, Twitter, Flickr, and Microsoft's Virtual Earth? You get the awesome site Twisney.com! The site lets you send in email, IMs, text messages, or tweets in order to update the Virtual Earth map with your photos and news. When you send in your status update to Twisney.com, they match it to a location on the map by looking at the first few words of your message. You can use an abbreviation, a paraphrased name, or the location's full name as found on your map of Disney.
Examples:
If you're emailing in your update from a mobile phone, just attach the picture to the email, and send it to twisney@twisney.com. (Email addressed are NOT disclosed on the site.)
If you're sending in updates via Twitter, just precede the update with @twisney. And if you want to link your email to your Twitter username for use on Twisney, just follow these instructions. That way, all your photos will be available from one page: www.twisney.com/username, which you can then share with your family and friends.
You can keep tabs on other Twisney users from your mobile phone from the mobile version of the site: http://www.twisney.com/mobile/overview
All the photos sent in to Twisney are uploaded to the Twisney group on flickr. You can also see them on a map here.
