CBM: How will the integration work?

TM: The images will be owned by Twitter [Not so, according to Twitter]. When a user uploads an image, a page will come up with the image, powered by Photobucket. Users will then be prompted to register with a Photobucket account.

This just sounds plain wrong. As a Twitter user I shouldn't be required to create a new account before I can post a photo. Simplicity be gone.

Also: how is this supposed to work with users sending their photos via MMS and what is Apple going to say about this?

Let's just hope (for Twitters sake) that there's some part missing in Munro's explanation.
