Just wondering why many people don’t use Pic.im. IMO it is a better image sharing service for Twitter than Twitpic. Some of its cool features include:
- Detailed visitor statistics
- Shorter URL’s
- Integration with Flickr (automatically posts your images to your Flickr account if you want to)
- Has an iPhone app [iTunes link]
It is a sister service to Tr.im – so if you have an account with Tr.im, you can use the same login. Now, Tr.im is another cool URL shortening service I like much because of the cool visitor statistics. Also, I just came to know that they belong to the Nambu network – creators of the Mac twitter client – Nambu.
BTW you can follow me @hackedunit on Twitter.

The reason is simple. Many people don’t use the service because their apps don’t support it. And even if apps started supporting the service, they only make use of the basic API (not the stats tracking etc).
When you’re on twitter, going to another website to upload images and then sharing them is too out of line.
