The difference would be that files would be hosted by Twitter directly and would not use third parties' services.

Would it be easy for you to encode the same information as a png image and post that using twitpic? What would the resultant image look like?

Well, in this case the information is a JPEG file, so it should look good as a PNG image ;)

But more to the point, there's a guy who stored JS code in PNG images[1], and any binary string could be used instead.

I recall something about storing rar archives in jpg files, as jpg ignores trailing bits and rars ignore heading bits..or something like that.
