Twitter added Image Upload feature to Tweets
RSS Feed
Twitter is launching a native image experience that allows users to upload images directly to Twitter.com from a computer. The images themselves are hosted by Photobucket. When you click inside the Tweet box on your homepage or on the New Tweet button, you will see two small icons in the lower left hand corner, one for adding your location (a compass), and one for uploading an image (a camera) as you can see in image below-
Twitter allows to upload any image that is 3MB or smaller and then they scale the image for you to fit into the display pane on the right side of your Twitter.com timeline.
On Twitter, you will be able to see uploaded images like this
Image 1 – Camera icon is highlighted in blue after a photo is successfully added to a Tweet:
Image 2 - Please note: In some browsers, you may see the name of the file instead of the thumbnail:
Image 3 – Clicking on the Tweet will show the image in the details pane.
You can also delete an image by only deleting the Tweet containing that image. Once that tweet is deleted, the image will be be made unavailable. It may still be cached in some browsers and servers, but the image will no longer be available from Twitter.com
Twitter is rolling out this feature for all users gradually. If you don’t see the camera icon under your Tweet box, don’t panic. Your turn will also come, you’ll get access to image uploads very soon.
