Share Image on Twitter

If you often use Twitter, you might complain why Twitter could not upload an image from your computer. Maybe some users just like me, we did not know how to upload an image ? Actually I double checked, I really did not see a function or any menu which let me upload or share images on Twitter. You know, there are many other Twitter-like mini blog system have provided the image uploading feature, such as Chinese twitter – weibo.com. Chinese has already used image uploading and sharing for long time.

The operation process is just like normal image uploading for a web page, after the image selected by you, you can see the Tweet box like the following:  ttshareimg03 You can see the line of words: Image will appear as a link. That is upset news: You can share and upload your images, but when you uploaded, the image** ONLY show as a link**, not a thumb image just like weibo.com.
