Over the past few months, Twitter is rolling out some key improvements to their users by adding an improved search functionality and the ability to upload images directly from your Twitter stream. Photo update came through Photobucket hosted and appeared as pic. twitter links and images for the user's followers, as we reported in June and again two weeks ago, when this function was officially available for the full 100% of Twitter users.
Today Twitter keeps rolling by adding image galleries to everyday Twitter users update photos. Huzzah! According to the new Twitter support page of the image gallery users will gather the most recent 100 images that you downloaded to his or her Twitter stream during their recent Twittering career, organizing them all on one page and display them in chronological order.
The images included in user galleries can come from Twitter, yFrog, TwitPic, Instagram and other image sharing services is supported on Twitter Details» Twitter said through the Help Center. Twitterers are likely to be grateful for this opportunity, as this means that users no longer have to click over to a third party sharing application for viewing photo twit friend photos. This new feature is also a Twitter well in their quest for stickier users. Users on the site for all of their photo sharing needs without doubt will be great for Twitter stats and a useful addition for users.
To technical limitations of image galleries display (as mentioned earlier) will include 100 most recent photos and, unfortunately, video thumbnails will not be enabled there will be Tweets with links to videos. Moreover Tweets with images that were sent before January 1, 2010 will not be included in the image gallery.
For those looking for new galleries users they can be found on your profile page. According to the Twitter Help Center by clicking the "show all" open gallery in the current window. There are two options for viewing as a grid view and remote from the first and the last is show you the latest images, complete with the body of the tweet is displayed below and sketches for the other images above it, Twitter said.
Personally, it's hard for me to believe that Twitter is just rolling out this feature in the August of 2011, but that being said, I am glad that here. It would be nice to have the same photos, view the version of the above "similar to you at our Facebook above our wall channels.
For those who are not seeing new photo option in the user profile is more lenient, galleries of images should be popping up within 24 hours if they have not already done so. I do not see the galleries for the Web client or Twitter desktop applications for Mac, but I'm sure they will soon be surfacing. In the end we waited several years for this, what is a few hours?
