Tweet Photos and Video Into Your Twitter Account

Twitter is in the process of testing a fresh feature called "Tweet Media" that would implant or insert photos and videos enclosed in tweets in a straight line in users' streams or box.

The Tweet Media option came with this report:

The innovative and fresh setting was not completely purposeful when some source revealed it. Twitter unconcerned Tweet Media from the account settings page. Conversely, in an official statement, Twitter told, "We're continuously looking at the features and settings. What you adage was a minute test of a prospective expenditure setting for inline media. We demonstrate inline media on our own iPhone and Android apps."

Accumulation of embeddable media to the stream has the impending to set hurdles the conventionally undemanding, 140-characters-of-text artistic of the network. Fundamentally amend the complete Twitter experience. Would the inline media modify Twitter for the improved or of poorer quality?
