Is Twitter for duck typing?

I don't think so.
During the development of Twinqy I've realized soon that Twitter indeed is a real-time multimedia streaming service.

You can think of Mobypicture, Flickr, Twitpic or whatever third party Twitter services.

But. Have you ever tried to perform an image search for "flowers and bees" on Twitter?
Obviously it can be done but it's tricky yet.

Fortunately Twitter's API evolving fast, so one day I expect <image>, <video>  and <audio> responses in addition to the lonesome <text> .

We will see.
