Technology, Photo Sharing | featured news

Twitter has launched its own photo-sharing tool, offering a native version of a feature that until now was mostly the domain of third-party apps like Twitpic and yfrog.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the social network has plans to “launch something awesome” next week. There’s no official word on what will be announced, but we suspect it’s going to be the new iPhone photo-sharing service that we saw just last week.

Twitter is going beyond 140 characters by adding a photo-sharing service.

What if you could see the cellphone photos taken by everyone within 150 feet of you? Would you be hesitant about potentially seeing yourself captured in one of those photos or would you be smiling as your inner voyeur jumps in joy?

Matthew Rothenberg, the man who most believed ran Flickr for Yahoo!, announced his departure in a Tweet today.

Instagram, a photo-sharing social network, announced Tuesday that it had passed 1 million registered users in just two months.
