Apple to include Twitter in IOS5?

Apple looks like they may be about to make the internet a whole lot simpler for the users, by introducing the ability to upload pictures directly to Twitter via IOS menu systems.

What this means is that people would be able to tap an image and a small menu would show with the option to upload to Twitter.
This act is looking increasingly likely since there are suggestions that Twitter wish to open a image hosting service of there own. Unfortunatly this could mean the end for popular image hosts, TwitPic and YFrog.

If Apple do go ahead with this move to include Twitter in the menus, will Facebook and other popular social sites get the same treatment or will they buy the way in?

We'll find out soon enough.
Until the next time.
