Twitpic: Enhancing Social Communication with Microblogging Platform

Twitpic, a microblogging platform founded by Biz Stone, Jack Dorsey, and Evan Williams, offers users the ability to post 140-character messages, update accounts via mobile or email, and upload pictures. Launched in 2006 as a tool for ODEO employees, it became an independent company in 2007. With 30,000 active users in Germany, receiving 4,000 new registrations weekly, Twitpic is widely used by public entities, businesses, news outlets, and for political campaigns. However, it has faced security concerns, including SMS manipulation in 2007 and privacy policy issues regarding data collection, sharing, and government disclosures.
