FYI – Twitpic sucks

If you are on the Twitter like me, and you follow celebrities, you know that they like to take pictures and post them. Unfortunately, nearly all of them use an application called TwitPic. It sucks. For weeks and months at a time, whenever I click on a twitpic link, this is all I get:

I originally twittered to @twitpic whenever this happened, since their own web site was invariably a Page Load Error. It would work sporadically for a week or two, then die again.

New strategy. Whenever someone posts a twitpic and it is broken, I am replying to that tweet with all my anguish over the fact that I can’t see the picture. Please, people, stop using twitpic. Working perfectly 12% of the time is not nearly good enough. There are plenty of other twitter picture posting options. Use YFrog. Use tweetphoto. Anything else. Just please stop using Twitpic. IT DOESN’T WORK.

Everytime you post a twitpic, God kills a puppy.

P.S. If you want to join me in this fight against stuff that doesn’t work right, here is a besmallened link for this blog post so that you can tell other twitterers that everytime they post a broken twitpic, God kills a puppy. http://bit.ly/c23xCS
