Pictures in Twitter should be easy. On an iPhone, there should be camera functionality built into the Twitter app. The steps to publish a photo should be as follows: The should demo this, and everyone should be impressed if it makes it into their mobile apps.
If Flickr were paying attention, they'd be have a timeline and allow you to follow photo-rivers on other services. And keep it wide open via the API, which works pretty well. Instead their home page is a disorganized mess. By going into pictures, Twitter gives Flickr one last shot at remaining more than an archive of the photography we were doing in the last decade. And not so much a big part of the way we do it in the future. I'm sure I'll think of more questions that are likely to be resolved with Twitter's announcement, and things to ask about and think about. |
