A picture, as you know, is worth a good deal more than 140 characters. Use Twitter to share links to pictures you've posted to on your blog or to photo-sharing sites like Flickr.
To share a picture specifically on Twitter, try a service like TwitPic (http://twitpic.com), which lets you post from your phone, the Web and some third-party clients (including those we describe in Chapter 2). The message that shows up on Twitter looks like Zoe Finkel's message here, with a link to the photo on the TwitPic site.
If somebody comments on the TwitPic site, it automatically sends that note as an @reply in Twitter to the original poster. In addition, the site tracks the number of click-throughs to a picture.
