Twitter Blindsided Ecosystem Leader Twitpic With Photo Product

Yesterday, leading up to today's announcement of Twitter's new photo sharing capabilities, we reported hearing that Twitter had approached some ecosystem players months ago about their potential move into the arena. One player not consulted? A massive one: Twitpic."We never heard from Twitter that they were building a photo feature," Twitpic founder Noah Everett tells us. That's interesting since yFrog and Plixi (formerly Tweetphoto) were approached, we've heard. Also clearly approached, Photobucket, which ended up scoring a deal to host the images for Twitter.Twitpic, the longtime leader in the space, understandably, is annoyed by this.
