Micro-blogging site Twitter has introduced an in-built photo upload tool for the first time, meaning upload sites such as Twitpic could be made obsolete.
Twitter users now have the option of selecting a camera icon when entering tweets, allowing them to directly upload images from their computer and give their followers a more visual experience. The images are hosted by Twitter partner Photobucket.
Third party upload sites are still available to use though the roll out of this new service may deem them unnecessary. No date has yet been given for a mobile app version of the upload tool, though it is surely inevitable.
Over the coming weeks Twitter aims to introduce "user media galleries" which will display all the images a user has shared on Twitter, including third party services such as Twitpic and Instagram.
