Photo Sharing on Twitter by Next Week - Reports

Tej Kohli IT blog is the repository of technology news and updates.

Following the league of other social networking sites, micro blogging site Twitter could be planning to introduce its own photo upload and sharing service this week. Tej Kohli found many reports circulating on the web about the same.

According to various reports, the company's CEO, Dick Costolo, is expected to make the announcement at the D9 conference in California.

The service is expected to be based on twimg.com, acquired by Twitter last July. It would compete with the likes of Twitpic, Instagram and Yfrog, and could be monetized by the means of advertising.

There's a strong chance, however, that the step could offend third party developers - already unhappy about the way Twitter has encroached on their space.

Back in March, platform lead Ryan Sarver warned third party developers off creating Twitter clients. He told the company's developer forum: "Developers ask us if they should build client apps that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience. The answer is no."

But with rival photo sharing services having been around long before that announcement, any competing launch from Twitter itself is likely to leave the likes of Twitpic somewhat aggrieved.

Twitter says the reason for the crackdown is that it wants to give users a more consistent experience. Last week, the company announced that it had bought the leading third-party client Tweetdeck for a reported $40 million.

To coincide with its tenth anniversary, Apple has revamped its retail outlets around the world, introducing iPad2 next to all its products to give customers more information on the same.

These iPads are strongly fixed to the desks to prevent stealing. Encased in a clecar plactic stand, these iPads run a special application giving information about each product. However, the home button has been disabled, just in case anyone wants a quick game of Angry Birds instead.

By hitting different tabs people can get information on specifications, price and support options. The customers can also tap a 'Specialist' tab for assistance from a live salesperson.
