Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but are you saying it's not confusing that TwitPic is not owned by Twitter? (At least from a legal standpoint)?
I always assumed Twitpic was owned by Twitter, and it seems many other HN members did too. I'm amazed they lasted more than a month with that name.
- adventured 12y agoAt the time, Twitter gave specific guidance that ecosystem applications with the term "tweet" in it would not be allowed, but twit was OK. That was specifically covered. I know for a fact because I ran a site with "twit" in the title, and cleared it with Twitter. Dozens of modestly popular sites (around data, retweets, images, etc) were using "twit" at the time.
