The Twitter is a great platform to come across the people coming from all over the world. It’s not only the Twitter itself, but the third-party apps contribute a lot to make it so popular. To make the tweets more describing, people use images in them. If you host your images on third-party apps like Twitpic, then here is a bad news for you.
Buzzfeed report says that Twitter is going to stop supporting third-party image hosts on its official apps. According to Buzzfeed report, this new big change is likely to take place in the next round of updates.
On its Help Center page for How to Include Pictures in Tweets, Twitter says that users will be able to “view images hosted on most third-party images providers indefinitely”. Buzzfeed report further says that Twitter has contacted the companies which will get effected by this new update.
A month ago, Twitter made a change to its API version and unveiled the API 1.1 and announced that it would be ending support for RSS, XML and Atom.
Well, this is just a buzz created by the Buzzfeed. Nothing has been come out officially so far. But according to the conditions, this news will surely take place practically soon. A wide range of Twitter users hosts their images on third-party apps like Twitpic and yfrog. It will be interesting to see that how this new update will effect these services and users of course.
Even Mashable has updated on twitter for the same.
