Goodbye, TwitPic
Joshua Brustein:
World Entertainment News Network, a news and photo agency, announced this month that it had become the “exclusive photo agency partner” of Twitpic, a service with over 20 million registered users that allows people to upload images and link to them on Twitter. The deal allows the agency to sell images posted on Twitpic for publication, and to pursue legal action against those who use such images commercially without its permission, according to the agency.
Just ridiculous stuff going on at Twitpic, I urge you not to use them or any other service that doesn’t allow you to keep the rights to your photos.
Well, it was a good run with TwitPic, but I am done with them. I just deleted any and all photos that have my wife and kids in them (about 60 of them). I may go ahead and delete the rest of them, but then I think of what Shawn Blanc said on twitter:
If Twitpic can manage to sell my blurry snapshot of a half-eaten sandwich then I salute them.
So, maybe I will leave them up there.
