Twitter Gets Ad-Friendlier With Image Galleries

New feature displays photos shared in tweets

On-the-fly photos shared through Twitter are getting their own homes online.

Twitter’s “User Galleries” feature, which launched Monday, aggregates the last 100 pictures uploaded by a user via tweet (excluding those sent before Jan. 1, 2010) and displays them in chronological order.  

The photo album-like gallery will be linked from each user’s Profile page and includes photos directly shared through Twitter, as well as those from third-party services such as Instagram, yFrog, and TwitPic.

Twitter didn’t share details on monetization possibilities, but said the new feature is a positive addition for marketers looking to associate their brands with a richer multimedia experience.
