Twitter’s ‘The ultimate guide to photo sharing’ aims to convince you to post your pics

Over the past few months, Twitter has made several major updates to photo sharing on its platform in hopes of countering the assumption that the service is used mostly for text. Now, the company has created “The ultimate guide to photo sharing on Twitter” to list the features it has added.

The guide highlights the camera functionality in the Twitter apps, photo filters, multiple photos, photo tagging, DM photos and cropping.

Twitter took a big step toward making its service more visual last October when it added image previews for photos and Vines. New profile pages for users also bring greater prominence to tweeted images.

However, even with all these new features and its ultimate guide, Twitter doesn’t have me convinced. Twitter’s too noisy for me to regularly share photos, so I’ll be sticking to a dedicated service like Instagram for now.
