Here’s a video by Twitter about their new photo, video and hash tag features.
It looks like you wont be seeing the likes of yfrog and twitpic for much longer. Rejoice!
You’ll soon be able to attach an image or video to your tweet directly from Twitter.com without the involvement of an external site. This will soon be possible from phone apps too.
There’ll be top video and top photos on the right hand column and you’ll be able to see a gallery of sorts on top of tweet stacks when you explore a hash tag.
Users will own the photos and video they upload.
It’ll be interesting to see how brands might use this;
- Photo and video competitions and campaigns,
- Aggregators of multimedia content around a particular event, topic or theme.
