A:
You will need to use a few APIs for this (for what I think you are trying to do?)
- The Twitter API For posting a tweet
- An API of many of the popular twitter image hosting/sharing websites, for example The Twitpic API
- This will allow you to upload the image to their site (through code) and get a URL in return, containing the location of your uploaded image
Then you just need to do something like
- Upload your image using the api of your image sharing site and storing the URL somewhere
- Formulate your tweet message with the URL in it
- Use the Twitter API to connect to your account (or whoever is using your application and has supplied their login credentials)
- Post the tweet

shishir - What I'm saying should allow you to do this. Unless I'm out of touch (things move really fast these days!) I don't think Twitter hosts any images, they partner up with image hosting sites insteadTwitpic is one of them, you send them an image, they do a bit of processing and return a URL telling you where that image is. Then all you need to do is post your tweet with the URL in it.e.g. "This is my cat http://<twitpic-URL>"

actually, from the looks of it the Twitpic API allows you to upload the image and post a tweet at the same time, so that's killing two birds with one stone there!
