Just mere hours after kicking Instagram off their feed, Twitter announced that they would be releasing something to ease the pain and supplement the sepia photo sharing withdrawals: their very own photo filters.
The social media site released a letter on their blog late yesterday (around the same time that Instagram rolled out a new app update) that revealed their plans for keeping photo sharing on the cutting edge.

The new Twitter allows users to apply one of eight filters, ranging from black & white to vintage, to crop and pinch, to zoom in order to focus attention, and to auto-enhance their uploaded photos.
So, pretty much everything Instagram lets you do, just Twitter-style.

The blog read as follows:
Starting today, you’ll be able to edit and refine your photos, right from Twitter. The latest versions of Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android introduce a few new ways to enhance the images you tweet. We’re grateful to our partner, Aviary, for powering our filters and effects.
But in a world of one tap gratification, will Twitter users upload to both Twitter and Instagram?
Only time can tell!
