Twitter Search

I've often wondered why Twitter doesn't have its own photo-uploading feature — it seems like a no-brainer. And yesterday, the company announced that it would be rolling out photo uploading in the coming weeks, essentially cutting out the need for Yfrog and TwitPic completely. Recently, TwitPic has come under fire for allowing user generated photos to be licensed to a photo agency, so this news couldn't come at a better time for Twitter.

But wait, there's more — Twitter also announced an improved search function that adds videos and photos into hashtag or keyword searches right on the homepage. They even put together a little video to celebrate. Check it out after the break.

The day is drawing nearer my friends: Halloween is tomorrow and New Moon hits theaters in just three weeks! It's almost too much vampire goodness to bear, but if you just can't get enough, then check out TweetAlarm.

It alerts you anytime anyone tweets about Twilight, vampires, or whatever it is you really care about, since you can customize the alert keywords. Wanting to stay on top of the up-to-the-minute Robert Pattinson news? Or maybe you're more into finding out every detail about the still unconfirmed Apple Tablet? Set an alert for "Apple Tablet," and you'll get an email alert at the end of the day, twice a day, or anytime there's a tweet about it.
