TwitPic, the first app that allowed people to share images via Twitter, announced today that it would shut down after September 25th due to Twitter attempting to sue their pants off.
In a blog post, CEO Noah Everett said that the small company could not afford to fight a lawsuit filed by Twitter, demanding that the company withdraw its application to trademark its own name ? an application that?s been in the process since 2009.
?During the ?published for opposition? phase of the trademark is when Twitter reached out to our counsel and implied we could be denied access to their API if we did not give up our mark,? Everett revealed. ?Unfortunately we do not have the resources to fend off a large company like Twitter to maintain our mark which we believe whole heartedly is rightfully ours.?
TwitPic, which actually preceded Twitter itself in allowing users to share pictures on the microblogging network, will soon roll out a feature allowing its users to export and back up their photos.
