Good news for Twitter fans at the IOS 5 launch today. The announcement today showcased an operating system for iPhone 3GS/4, iPad & iPod Touch that is heavily integrate with Twitter, in return snubbing Facebook. It seems to me that within the last few months Twitter has started to take some massive strides in the world of social media. First they bought Tweet Deck and will possibly look to develop their own sophisticated 3rd party Twitter Desktop Client. Next Twitter announced that they will start rolling out the capability to add photos and videos seamlessly into your tweets, making the process far more efficient as you will no longer need to use 3rd party applications such as Twitpic. Then the grandslam! Apple announce that the next software release for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch will be integrated with Twitter, which will no doubt mean that Twitter is going to see a significant increase in users upon the release of IOS 5!!

So how does this benefit the users of the new software?
