Ever post an image to Twitter than needs more context? Well ThingLink now allows images posted on Twitter to be interactive. ThingLink is a rich image creator that allows for visual tagging of any photo.

Twitter has been making a heavy push towards interactivity with Twitter Cards & enhanced content. ThingLink works within a Twitter image to include tags and context without escorting the Twitter user off the site. The ThingLink service is free and allows for a variety of tagging and linking.

This Tweet is a good example of the power that can be harnessed in an image – directly on Twitter:
