It's a misleading advertisement: Twitter does not allow you to share videos and photographs. Only text.

The graphic design is excellent, though.

Well, Twitter didn't make the ad, some other company did in another context. They also made for Facebook and Skype.

Hey ttl... Just curious: do you, by chance, read the Post Headings? :-D

I realized that. But it's still factually incorrect.

None of it. It's a faux ad, but for a real product.

And, in fact, seeing that it gets posted on blogs and elsewhere, it's not necessarily even faux anymore. More like a viral one.
