I love Twitter. Unfortunately the two social media giants no longer play nicely together.<\/p>\n<p>You can still post Instagram photos as a link on Twitter, but you no longer can see the actual photos on Twitter. When you currently share an Instagram photo to Twitter, here&#8217;s how it looks:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p>Dinner train. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23instahenry&amp;src=hash\">#instahenry<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/RvwKxEgInJ\">http:\/\/t.co\/RvwKxEgInJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chris Snider (@ChrisSnider) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisSnider\/statuses\/385546838876905472\">October 2, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No photo. No fun.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/gadgetlab\/2013\/10\/how-to-twitter-instagram\/\">this workaround to make my Instagram photos appear in the Twitter feed<\/a> (side note: <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2013\/10\/07\/retweet-photo\/\">Tweets with a photo get more retweets<\/a>). The workaround involves posting your Instagram photos automatically to tumblr and using <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/dashboard\">IFTTT<\/a> to post from tumblr to Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s not as complicated as it looks. Especially if you&#8217;ve use IFTTT before.<\/p>\n<p>So I tried it. Here was my first Tweet using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/gadgetlab\/2013\/10\/how-to-twitter-instagram\/\">these instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p>Fall leaves. <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/We4rK0xidO\">pic.twitter.com\/We4rK0xidO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chris Snider (@ChrisSnider) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisSnider\/statuses\/385827757634363392\">October 3, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not bad, but no link to my Instagram account. How will I reach a million followers without a link!?<\/p>\n<p>So I modified the IFTTT recipe to automatically include a link to my <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/csnider\">Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p>More fall leaves. <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/EE1qWtQgGN\">http:\/\/t.co\/EE1qWtQgGN<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/gvfzfKDjXE\">pic.twitter.com\/gvfzfKDjXE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chris Snider (@ChrisSnider) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisSnider\/statuses\/385830670654005249\">October 3, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not perfect, since I&#8217;d rather have a link to the actual photo. But it&#8217;s much better than the original link above.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
