- jamesbrownuhh 12y agoThere is no indication that Twitpic is broke. They announced their shutdown after Twitter objected to their attempt to trademark their name (as any company might do, if another business applied for a trademark using a large chunk of their name in a similar context.)
- pistle 12y agoSo, the profits aren't enough to warrant changing names? The profits aren't enough to be worthy of a buyout - or even letting others foot the bill for backups. Not to mention there's someone out there who is dealing with multiple levels of suck right now. It might be a better path for people to reach out to help the guy WITHOUT offering to offload the value proposition of what he built. Also, any sort of agreements between people who uploaded content and Twitpic can't just be sold off to the first person to show up with a hard drive or offer to pay bandwidth costs. That would be a set of legal costs, etc. etc.
