Twitter’s own service would work in much the same way. This could be one way to bring in some cash for Twitter. The launch of a photo-sharing service would also be another signal of Twitter’s intent to take control of its ecosystem.

Twitter will spend more resources on photosharing as these images are the crux of the success of competitor Facebook.
