Twitter doesnt handle pictures. Only text. > When the user twits and attach a photo I'd like to send this photo to > my app (I am aware they would need to change their photo settings). Let the users tweet normally with a particular hashtag say #contest4xv Use search API to get all tweets tagged with this hashtag. Parse the tweet to get the "twitpic.com/" url. example http://twitpic.com/3705ya Use standard HTTP client library to parse the url and grab the image to your own database. ~~~ Mohan Arun -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
