twitpic is screwed

  • http://@zoblue Zulema

    Or Twitter could just buy TwitPic.

    You do see the little twitpic icon, and the twitpic url, right?
    Why ENTIRELY replace something that works well?

    oh, not just Twitpic. This is the beginning of the end for most, if not all 3rd party clients that built their entire “business” around Twitter. The new design comes just in time for Twitter – they’ve “lured” (whether they like this terminology or not) tons of developers which on their turn helped them grow – and now they’re taking that piece of the cake for themselves.

    Traffic, onsite stay and pages/visit will soar – that’s a first step toward monetization.

    They already have an Amazon S3 account, why not spend a few more bucks and use that?

    It is only screwed when Twitter gets this into the offical
    Twitter App on iPhone/Android/iPad/Blackberry.

    We just covered this exact issue on TheSocialGeeks tonight. I would say no after listneing to the argument from someone at Justin.TV. You are still using Twitpic on the backend, they will jus tneed to adjust how the images are embedded on the Twitter pages.

    Listen to Episode 29 of TheSocialGeeks starting 9/16 when I publish

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
