Photo-sharing company Twitpic is to close over a trademark dispute with one of its earliest collaborators, Twitter.
Twitpic, which was launched in 2008, said the social network had demanded it drop an application for a trademark.
If not, the photo-sharing firm would have been denied access to data that allowed it to develop for the Twitter platform.
Twitter said it was sad that the firm was shutting down, and that Twitpic could have continued to use its name.Twitpic To Close After Trademark Dispute [bbc.co.uk]
