Today, Apple demonstrated how Twitter will be built into the next version of its iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch operating system, iOS5.
You can tweet photos and links from Safari.
Facebook, meanwhile, was no where to be found.
Make no mistake: this is a HUGE win for Twitter.
Twitter has about 300 million registered users, but its actual active user-base remains fairly small: about 21 million. That's tiny compared to Facebook's 600 million. Twitter's relatively small valuation, $5 billion to Facebook's $80 billion, reflects that.
The company brought back cofounder Jack Dorsey as product boss in hopes that he could make Twitter easier to use and more popular. If he had a role in getting this Apple integration together, then the move is already paying off.
