Twitter planning photo-sharing service
Twitter is to launch its own photo-sharing service to compete with
existing services such as Twitpic, Yfrog, Instagram and Flickr,
according to multiple sources.
The announcement is expected this week at the D9 conference in
California, where the company's chief executive Dick Costolo will be
speaking on Wednesday. The service may be provided via the website twimg.com, which Twitter has
owned since July 2010, according to TechCrunch, which first reported the
plans. One possibility is that the photo service will be monetised by including
advertisements as Twitter tries to move to a more commercial model.
The move will be seen as further encroachment by Twitter on areas
formerly seeded and exploited by third-party developers. (The Guardian)
