Amidst stiff competition in the exploding mobile image-sharing sphere, Twitpic announced the release of its first iPhone app for editing and sharing photos.
Twitpic is best known as the go-to photo sharing service for Twitter users, making it possible to upload directly to Twitter and not via a third party service.
“Twitpic is hoping that free and simple-to-use editing features will be enticing enough to stay relevant” in the market, according to The New York Times.
“A free built-in photo editor will allow people to polish photos through a number of tools, including cropping and visual filters. People can also see the most popular pictures shared each day,” details the article. The photos will be shared on Twitter.
However, Twitpic is facing an increasing number of competitors, including “dozens of free photo-editing apps and social image-sharing services available for the iPhone,” notes NYT. Additionally, Instagram (recently purchased by Facebook for $1 billion) is adding millions of users per month.
