Morning we learn that Apple could collaborate with Twitter for the integration of the service in iOS and this evening the Twitter company announced launching a new photo sharing service and improving the relevance of hash tag searches. Of course, the main novelty is the photo sharing service that will allow us to upload photos to Twitter that will be displayed directly in our timeline. Goodbye twitpic or other similar services because now pictures will be uploaded directly to Twitter because the company has entered into a partnership with Photobucket and soon all users will be exempted from using third-party sites to display pictures on Twitter. The company is also negotiating with mobile phone operators to allow uploading pictures to Twitter using MMS, so you will not consume traffic from the subscription but will send the picture directly via MMS.

Over the next several weeks, we'll be releasing a feature to upload a photo and attach it to your Tweet right from Twitter.com. And of course, you'll soon be able to easily do this from all of our official mobile apps. A special thanks to our partner Photobucket for hosting these photos behind the scenes. For users without smartphones, we're working with mobile carriers around the world so you can also send photos via text message (MMS). Share what's happening in your world, anywhere you are.

Of course, in iOS 5 we will be able to upload photos to Twitter directly from the Camera application if everything rumored today is true. Hundreds of millions of people use Twitter daily and I think that it would be extremely beneficial for Apple to integrate Twitter into iOS 5 alongside Facebook of course. The second novelty has to do with the search for hashtags on Twitter. The company announced that it has improved the search algorithms so that now the results will be much more relevant for users.
