Engagement (favorites, RT's, replies) went up ~80% after adding screenshots of the products we tweet about via . has a thorough article on this in . I wish Tweetdeck had a built-in feature like this. Also check out 's .
Definitely noticed this as well, in a stream of text, the images draw my attention because it is different and usually a larger section of the stream. See people also using carriage returns to increase the amt of space their tweets take up.

Thanks for including some more details and facts Ryan - Part of understanding the value of this product is understanding the value of images!
curious — do you automate this process? I sometimes notice screenshots that were taken prematurely (webpage still loading, etc..).
Didnt realize tweets with images get 150% more retweets! +1 just for that stat
great concept but you should definitely include more photos

Thanks for the suggestion Evan - We've looked into incorporating higher quality stock photos we manually curate to really up the quality and quantity. Currently, we are leveraging Flickr API
Anticipating lots of #blessed quote images once mainstream Twitter discovers this. They should look into pulling images from Pexels+the like.

Pexels look really interesting, thanks for the suggestion! There are also a number of other sources we are looking into.
This is awesome! Love that we can upload our own photos :) Can't wait to see how it changes engagement rates. Cheers!
Nice, works pretty smoothly. Is similar but with more customization and images, which is pretty neat since I'm not creative enough to find my own photos usually
I use canva to do this but I like the focus/simplicity of this app. Will share it around.

Thanks David - Two of our goals were to be quick and simple.
This is a really interesting engagement hack! Two questions: > How would this work for consumers using other clients (TweetDeck et al)? Is the image experience on the others the same? > Do you expect tweeting with Spruce to have any potential accessibility implications?

Thanks for the questions Vaibhav - > How would this work for consumers using other clients (TweetDeck et al)? Is the image experience on the others the same? ---Image behavior should be followed on 3rd party Twitter clients. > Do you expect tweeting with Spruce to have any potential accessibility implications? --We have single page URL's for every image, with a few minor updates we could provide the necessary tags to assist with Accessibility.
It's a cloning app :)
I like it!
