So not only can us Orange phone users send the standard SMS via 86444 to Twitter, but now we can also send pictures via MMS, which is great news, although I do use TwitPic to send my pictures to Twitter, it has opened up another avenue of choice to use when sending tweets or pics to Twitter.

Along with this Orange has started a service called Snapshot which is where your tweeted photos are added to a long list of photos from other users, you also get your own page on Snapshot, much like TwitPic where you can show your photos.

It is mentioned in the blog post on the Twitter Blog that Twitter will not charge for this service.
