I like how the news story says "acquired", but the actual blog post (http://blog.twitpic.com/2014/10/twitpics-future/ http://blog.twitpic.com/2014/10/twitpics-future/) doesn't use that word and says that Twitpic is essentially just giving the domain and existing data to twitter. Generally "acquired" means a) they pay a lot of money for the company and b) some or all of the employees of that company work at the new place. I'm guessing in this case neither of those are true. Granted on the scale of "sensationalist headlines" this isn't worth losing sleep over, but it's funny that the tech press can't help itself in covering stories like this.
