That's correct...

Twitpic founder Noah Everett - "Twitter contacted our legal demanding that we abandon our trademark application or risk losing access to their API." The move shocked Everett "since Twitpic has been around since early 2008, and our trademark application has been in the USPTO since 2009." Twitpic doesn?t have the resources to battle Twitter legally and Everett has decided to shut down Twitpic instead."
