Twitter intros photo-sharing, revamped search [video]

General

Twitter on Wednesday unveiled two new services tied to its massively popular social network. The first is one that companies like ImageShack and Twitpic will be none too happy about — a photo-sharing service built right into Twitter.com. Users will see a new camera icon beneath the tweet composition box on the site, and clicking it will allow them to upload images that will display with their tweets. Twitter has partnered with Photobucket to host the photos, and uploading will not initially be supported from mobile devices. Twitter says it is working with carriers on MMS upload support, and the company made no mention of integration with various official mobile apps. The other major announcement out of Twitter HQ is a revamped integrated search service that will now list images and videos alongside tweets on results pages. The new search is available immediately and Twitter’s photo-sharing service will roll out over the next several weeks. Hit the break for a video showcasing Twitter’s new photo sharing service.

    Titty Tuesday (or Weiner Wednesday, for those who prefer it) searches are never going to be the same again. This might be enough to get me to use the official Twitter app.
    Maybe.

    Does this mean, we get to use all of the 140 characters to tweet instead of using some of our precious character spaces for a URL? haha

    It’s funny that this is shown only on apple products, it adds more weight to the twitter integration in ios 5 and lion.
