Anyone who runs company accounts on several social networks should probably be managing a Flickr account as well. I suspect that this is due to Flickr's origins as a site for storing and sharing personal photographs.
Everything you upload is marked as your copyright, and you can apply whatever rights you want. This doesn't appeal to people who are simply sharing photos they have found online, and are making no claim to ownership.
Of course, the reverse applies to companies sharing their own copyright images. Tweeting from Microsoft's SkyDrive is another option, though Twitter users may not know how to access the full-sized image. Clicking on the photo in Twitter pops up a larger version but in degraded quality. Most people have Hotmail accounts -- or use the Hotmail-replacement, Outlook. The only drawback is that SkyDrive doesn't track the number of views, as far as I can see, so there's no way of telling whether an image is popular.
I uploaded the same photo to all four sites and then downloaded it to compare results. The original was x pixels 2. Twitpic reduced this to x pixels 73K , which is inadequate. Flickr reduced it to x K , which is acceptable for viewing on screen. Both Yfrog and SkyDrive downloaded full-sized originals, though only SkyDrive kept the original filename. I also uploaded my photo directly to Twitter.
There isn't a download button, but I saved the large image and deleted Twitter's broken file extension. It turned out to be x K. To sum up , Twitter provides a quick way of sharing photos that you don't own, don't want to track, don't need to keep online, and will never use on other social networks Twitpic is still very good for sharing photos that are up to px wide, but not larger. Yfrog is a good substitute for Twitpic, but Flickr may be better, depending on your needs.
If you actually want to share original images via Twitter, SkyDrive is the best option. However, Yfrog works well enough, and counts views.
