TwitPic was a website and app[2] that allowed users to post pictures to the Twitter microblogging service,[3] which at the time of TwitPic's creation could not be posted to Twitter directly. TwitPic was often used by citizen journalists to upload and distribute pictures in near real-time as an event was taking place.[4][5]
