More details have emerged since it was originally reported on Twitter’s photo-sharing service, namely that Apple’s new iOS 5 will probably come with a baked in Twitter image sharing feature, Alexia Tsotsis said in a report for TechCrunch.
According to the report, multiple sources have said that Apple's iOS 5 will have Twitter's image service "baked into the OS" with a "Send to Twitter" option similar to the current integration of YouTube in iOS.
A tipster informs that one trigger happy Apple iOS designer has already released a test link into the wild. The tipster clued us into a http://a0.twimg.com/status_photos/ URL that appeared in his timeline, and then quickly disappeared, it says.
While Twitter has hosted individual profile images on http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/ for quite some time, the /status_photos/ appendage is new, or relatively so, the report says.
According to it, a little Googling finds three more signs of this: a test account posting photos on March 30, a Google cache of the protected Twitter office account posting the above photo on March 31, this bizarre account posting photos yesterday and a Tweetmeme cache of Twitter designer Coleen Baik posting this photo from her account, with the original tweet nowhere to be found.
