Report: Twitter to launch own photo sharing
Built-in service expected to be announced this week would compete with services such as Twitpic and Yfrog, according to TechCrunch report.
It looks like Twitter's recent app expansion effort might just be getting started.
The microblogging site is getting ready to announce its own photo-sharing service this week, according to a TechCrunch report that cited multiple anonymous sources.
Twitter users can already share photos on their Twitter streams via Twitpic and Yfrog, but as the report noted, a built-in service would have a significant advantage over competing apps.
The site is also close to acquiring AdGrok, a platform for bidding on keywords on Google AdWords, for less than $10 million, according to a separate TechCrunch report citing multiple sources.
Twitter's official media relations feed had no comment on the reports.
Twitter confirmed on Wednesday it would acquire the popular desktop client TweetDeck for $40 million.
