TwitPic was a website and app〔http://blog.twitpic.com/2014/10/twitpics-future/〕 that allowed users to post pictures to the Twitter microblogging service. TwitPic was often used by citizen journalists to upload and distribute pictures in near real-time as an event is taking place. ==History== TwitPic was launched in 2008 by Noah Everett.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Twitpic.com )〕 In an interview with Mixergy, Noah Everett revealed that he had been offered a price in the range of 10 million US dollars for his company but he declined the offer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Mixergy )〕 In 2011, Everett launched Heello, a service that also supports text posts and videos but is less dependent on Twitter. Twitpic's first app was released on 7 May 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://itunes.apple.com/app/twitpic/id523490954?mt=8 )〕 On September 4, 2014, Twitpic announced that it would shut down on September 25, 2014, following rapidly declining usage and trademark infringement threats by Twitter, Inc., threatening to revoke its access to the service's APIs if they do not withdraw their filings to trademark "Twitpic".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.twitpic.com/2014/09/twitpic-is-shutting-down/ )〕 However, shortly afterward on September 18, 2014, TwitPic announced that it would not shut down, as it had been acquired by an unspecified company. TwitPic followed up on October 16, 2014 with an update to their original announcement, stating that they could not reach an agreement, and were going to follow through with their shutdown on October 25, 2014.〔 On October 25, 2014, Twitpic announced that they had reached an agreement with Twitter to give them the Twitpic domain and photo archive.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TwitPic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
