Share your photos directly to Social Media from Windows Live Photo Gallery

Speed Up My PC

You all might come across situations where you want to share your pictures and images to various social media like Facebook , Twitpic, YouTube, etc, or want to make a collage from them. Or maybe you want to first use Photosynth – but then drop the idea, because you hate uploading the same material again and again, across various sites.

Here is a very cool  feature of Windows Live Photo Gallery which lets you achieve all this easily!

How to get started:

  • Install Windows Live Essentials.
  • Run the Windows Live Photo Gallery.

If you are unable to find the social site or application from there than click on Add a plug in and install the required plug in.
