Popular photo-sharing service, Twitpic, is closing its doors rather than fight Twitter on a recent set of demands.
Founder Noah Everett explained Twitpic’s unexpected demise:
A few weeks ago Twitter contacted our legal demanding that we abandon our trademark application or risk losing access to their API. This came as a shock to us since Twitpic has been around since early 2008, and our trademark application has been in the USPTO since 2009. source
If you use Twitpic, Everett said you should be able to export your old photos and videos before it shuts down.
