TwitPic

TwitPic is a website that allows users to easily post pictures to the Twitter micro blogging site. It is often used to upload pictures in real time as the event are taken place. Although TwitPic is often associated as a capability of Twitter, it could be used independently of Twitter, in a way similar to Flickr. However, there are several characteristics that link it to Twitter. Your username and password used for Twitter can also be used for TwitPic. This allows anyone with a Twitter to be able to share photos with their followers. Comments to these pictures or videos are sent as a reply tweet.
Services like TwitPic have played a critical role in spreading newsworthy images from eyewitnesses who have been present with mobile phones at world-changing events. Events such as the evacuation of Times Square, the earthquake in Haiti, the protests in Egypt and many more were portrayed through TwitPics. Occasionally, TwitPic images not only depict the news, they become the news, themselves. Last year, there was a photo of a transit worker sleeping on the job posted on TwitPic that caused uproar in the media.
TwitPic this year furthered its capabilities and allowed users to start posting videos in the same fashion they would post pictures. The founder Noah Everett did this in hopes of being a one-stop shop for users to share media on Twitter in real time.TwitPic is a great way to express what is going on in the present time, I encourage people with Twitter to experience this capability and have fun with it.
