The reports of Twitpic’s survival were greatly exaggerated. Despite claiming it had found an acquirer to save it from death following Twitter legal demands, the service today announced that didn’t happen and it’s game over on October 25th. Users can now export their photos.
Twitpic founder Noah Everett wrote on its blog that
“It’s with a heavy heart that I announce again that Twitpic will be shutting down on October 25th. We worked through a handful of potential acquirers and exhausted all potential options. We were almost certain we had found a new home for Twitpic (hence our previous tweet), but agreeable terms could not be met. Normally we wouldn’t announce something like that prematurely but we were hoping to let our users know as soon as possible that Twitpic was living on.”
This is a major backtrack from when Twitpic tweeted last month that someone was buying it and it would live on.
We’ll have more shortly.
