Virl.com - Photo Sharing And URL Shortening

Virl is something of a Web 2.0/Twitter utopia. On the one hand, you can use it to upload and share pictures with your Twitter buddies; on the other hand, you can shorten links with it to point them to an interesting article or site.

The web is full of sites that shorten links, and sites that let you upload your pictures for the world to see. But as often happens with the web, this saturation of “site genres” leads to innovation, and that came in the form of Virl.

By mixing two of the most popular Twitter add ons, you’ll be able to do all the link and photo sharing from one site, no need to sign up for multiple services. The site’s toolbar allows you to do everything from there, so you don’t even need to visit the site in order to get the most out it.

“Virl is small and contagious. Share Your Photos, Shorten URLs & Spread the News. Use Virl for Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Delicious or Blogs & Websites Everywhere!”

It’s an interesting offer that, with some improvements, could become a top player in the internet link-sharing and photo-uploading game.

Twitter addicts are going to get a kick out of this. Other users? I don’t know.
Will people get the hang of it? Isn’t it a bit too complicated?
