Twitter on Wednesday added Facebook-style photo 'tagging' and bumped up the number of images that iPhone users can share in a single post.

As many as 10 people in a single image can be 'tagged' with names without eating into the 140-character limit to text messages posted at the service, Twitter software engineer Cesar Puerta said in a blog post.

'Tagging people in a picture makes conversations around photos fun and easy,' Puerta said.
