Rumour has it Twitter will be announcing a photo-sharing service at the D9 conference this week. Currently Twitter users now link their tweets to hosting services such as Twitpic, ImageShack’s Yfrog, Instagram and Flickr.

Not a surprising move, especially after the recent controversy concerning content rights on these other services.

"Twitter is flinging money around; It just spent $40 million on power user client Tweetdeck which represents 13% of its userbase. It’s only natural that they would spend more resources on photosharing, especially considering how much money is being poured into the white hot space and that images were the crux of the success of competitor Facebook." - TechCrunch.com
