Twitter Reboots; Adds Video, Pics Option

Twitter on Tuesday (Sept. 14) unveiled a significant redesign—including a new option for users to post videos and photos via the increasingly popular social media site.

Going forward, users will still encounter the familiar 140-character messages in their Twitter streams. But integrated in those streams will be full-sized videos and pictures.

To facilitate the ability to embed visual imagery, Twitter has inked a slew of deals with media and technology companies, including YouTube, Flickr, UStream, Vimeo and Justin.tv.

In addition to video and photos, Twitter now packs more information onto its home page.
