Agree that this is a nice to have feature, but for where the product is now my take is that this a feature that is better handled by other providers (Skitch, CloudApp etc) all of whom provide short URLs that can easily be pasted in.

Using the Twitter API to do this is also complex. As posting of tweets is delayed we would have to store the image locally until it was time to post the tweet and then send the image over with the tweet

I've checked the documentation for the twitter gem on this and it doesn't look like images are a feature that's included in it.

Basically the ticket is a big one!
