Twitter, make your choice, acquire a media sharing service or launch your own

This is exactly what my wife struggled for this very moment. It was so hard for her to use Twitpic or Tweetdeck when all she wanted to post a photo from Twitter site. They should really just add their own photo sharing service or integrate seamlessly to other service from their current web site. Their iPhone app is quite good, wish they can bring that experience on their web site.

The app was an acquisition (and a good one) ... my guess is that none of the current services are good/polished enough to do what they want.

What she wants is Tumblr. And, from a developer perspective, look how they are coping with downtime. (Horribly.)

I think Twitter already pissed off enough developers by publishing their own free Twitter client. A free, integrated photo service would not appease a lot of people. I can still remember when TapBots touted their upcoming, secret iPad app, which, as it turned out, was a paid Twitter app. Ouch.

Except for people who aren't web developers (aka Real Users®)

The phrasing was a little misleading; a lot of people will be annoyed at such a move, but that is not to say that many other people will embrace it.

I really miss Pownce for this. I loved it because I could share anything I wanted with my friends. :)
