Created this application a few weeks back for the sake of creating one while also improving my skills with Cocoa app development. It's a minimal, Mac OS X only, app to upload images to TwitPic after authenticating against your Twitter account.
As they say, TwitPic lets you share photos on Twitter. It let's you upload pics to TwitPic servers and optionally share them on your Twitter stream. However, this app goes a step ahead in one aspect, whereby it lets you upload almost any major image format, rather than TwitPic's only supported GIF, PNG and JPG. It uploads the image in PNG format, while also retaining the original quality. There's more!
The application is handy enough to be kept in dock (if not already cluttered 
). And without opening it, you can anytime drag the image you want to upload, into the application's dock icon; wait a second while it uploads, and tada! the image has been uploaded and the link to the twitpic.com URL for the image has been copied to your pasteboard (clipboard).
If you supply a comment for the upload, a link to the image along with the comment is posted as a tweet on your twitter stream as well. Good enough even for normal image sharing, where you don't want the image to be posted to your twitter account.

Nice. It'd be more awesome,
Nice.
It'd be more awesome, if you throw in a few little Tweet features and probably spit out the TwitPic link.
It can already tweet the pic
It can already tweet the pic link with the msg (when the msg is written before uploading).
That's the best this app should attempt, and that's the maximum support from Twitpic's API.
it would be great if we could
it would be great if we could upload multiple pictures by dragging and dropping them onto the app. even if the drawback in doing so meant not having the url copied to the clipboard.
thanks!

Already possible
It can already handle uploading of multiple images of any format mixed together, although the URL copied in the clipboard is for the last uploaded picture only.
It'll also make multiple tweets for individual image, if there's any Twitter message defined. This part is handled by TwitPic.com service and not by the TwitPic Uploader.
Windows
It seems nice, but I haven't tried it, since I'm using windows as my operative system.
So, have you any plans to make a TwitPic Uploader for windows-based computers?
Download link
Hi,
The download link for the app is broken. I did manage to remove some of the url string and get it to work. Nice little app but you should have a preview window and then a "submit" button. Would make it a little more user friendly.
Hello, Thanks for the link
Hello,
Thanks for the link alert! Fixed them!
I see what you are saying about the preview in the app before uploading. A drop box like view. I'll see when I can find time for this.
Thanks again!
Must have
Nice and necessary invention that everyone willing to use nowadays. Sharing photos has become the most usual thing people do in networks.
Sat Sri Akal Gurpartap...Nice

Sat Sri Akaal! Thanks for the kind compliment.
Changing account info
Help! I can't figure out how to change to a different Twitter account. There's got to be a button there somewhere to change the name/password, yes? Great app. Thank you!
Yes!
Yes! It's in the Preferences under the TwitPic Uploader menu.
How can Twitpic help with
How can Twitpic help with businesses twitter profiles? I really need some help with mine.
Huh?
What kind of help you mean? Maybe you should contact noah [(at)] twitpic.com since TwitPic Uploader is in no way affiliated with twitpic.com service.
