Instagram vs. Twitter: Make them play nice.

Recent changes to the Instagram/ Twitter experience have left tweets sharing Instagram pictures as text only. While you can still click on the link to view, it adds a step and is not (in my opinon) as asthetically pleasing. Using IFTTT recipes, you can get your Instagram photos to display in your Twitter feed. I also like that I am now automatically backing up my Instagram photos on Flickr. Pretty cool right?
Using these two recipes, your Instagram pictures will appear in your Twitter feed like this.
