Twitter adds aggregated image galleries to user profiles

Twitter continues to build out its user experience, introducing new user galleries that aggregate photos snapped and uploaded via supported image sharing services including Instagram, TwitPic and yFrog.

Recent images posted are now shown on Twitter profiles.

Image galleries will be located on the user's Profile page. According to Twitter, the galleries will display up to 100 recent images in chronological order--video thumbnails will not be included, and images included in tweets sent before Jan. 1, 2010 will not be displayed.

Twitter currently boasts more than 200 million registered user accounts and is on pace to generate ad revenues of $150 million in 2011, up from $45 million a year ago, according to research firm eMarketer. Earlier this month, Twitter raised a reported $400 million from DST Global, the investment fund led by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner. Twitter adds the funding will support efforts to innovate its microblogging platform, increase its staff and expand its services internationally.

In July, All Things Digital reported Twitter aims to complete a two-stage investment round totaling $800 million, earmarking half of that total to cash out existing stakeholders like Benchmark Capital, Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital. The combined $800 million round will value Twitter at $8 billion--the startup was valued at $3.7 billion in December 2010, when it received $200 million in funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
