Direct image attachment coming to Twitter’s mobile web app

Image attachments on twitter.com, coming to mobile browsers

11.3Kviews

Twitter is testing native app-like features for its mobile browser web app that will allow users to attach images to tweets – this includes capturing images direct from a user’s smartphone camera and images uploaded from the device’s library.

At present, image uploads are only possible on Twitter’s native apps, on a plethora of third-party native clients, and through twitter.com on desktop. Twitter is expanding its already established native app functionality to mobile.twitter.com.

Direct image uploads were rolled-out on twitter.com in August 2011.

Twitter’s mobile product manager, Sung Hu Kim, shared an image on Twitter (where else?) yesterday of the sun setting over San Francisco. Kim later revealed that the image had been tweeted from his phone’s browser and congratulated the mobile web team at Twitter for their achievements.

That last photo was tweeted from my phone's BROWSER. Our amazing Twitter Mobile Web team did it again.

The image was uploaded from Kim’s phone gallery, but he confirmed to me that direct capture and upload from a device’s camera is also supported.

It’s not yet known when we can expect the feature to be rolled-out to the general Twitter population.

Twitter has long-embraced the browser and web apps. Last August, the company released an improved HTML5 browser-based version of Twitter for iPad. In July of this year, Twitter announced that it had customised its site for more than 13 different mobile browsers operating on thousands of mobile devices – most of which are pre-Android and iPhone.

Update: The feature is currently available in the browser on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above.

One week before the pandemic hit, unaware of what was about to take place worldwide, Taylor Hersom quit his job as a Chief Information Security Officer for a local firm in Austin, Texas in the hopes of finding a similar position elsewhere.

Between working at Deloitte where he advised Fortune 500 companies on compliance and security tactics, and his more recent position at the local firm, Hersom didn’t anticipate finding a new job to be a difficult feat.

However, as the pandemic set in, his interview offers dried up, and he turned to UpWork in pursuit of a job. In the beginning, he applied for as many posts as he could find in order to build up his review score.

He began taking on clients and quickly realized that startups needed a lot of help with security and compliance, and he knew this could become a genuine business for him. But what he didn’t realize was just how in demand his services would be.

As time went on, Hersom moved away from UpWork and took on staff to build a team in order to meet demand. Shortly after this, on January 1, 2021, his new company Eden Data was born.

In today’s episode of the Brains Byte Back podcast, Hersom, CEO and Founder of Eden Data, shares how the team has grown in such a short period of time by taking a positive approach to security instead of the traditional fear-based approach.

In other words, instead of securing customers using fears tactics such as telling prospects if they get hacked they will be fined, receive bad PR, or be hated, Hersom advocates that strong security can show prospects that you care about them and their data, which can successfully close more deals.

Hersom also shares how their subscription approach to security and compliance has helped them stand out in this market, allowing them to scale alongside the startups they work with.
