Embed Photos and Videos in your Twitter Stream

by Muzzammil Waheed July 27, 2010

twitter-speed-260 Great News for all users of twitter, Mashable has reported that a new Twitter setting called “Tweet Media” is rolling out to some Twitter’s users, “strongly suggesting that the company will soon embed videos and photos in the stream.” . Using this feature you can just peak at your Twitter steam and look at how many people are sharing video and photos.

Tweet Media, as it’s called, was accessed by Mashable and others have been able to access under Twitter’s account settings, according to the report. Apparently, the system asks you whether or not you want to show photos and videos from everyone. It also comes with the following description of the setting: “By default, you’ll only see images and videos shared by people you’re following, and reveal those by people you’re not. Check this box to see media from everyone on Twitter.”
