How A Spare Computer Became Twitpic, A $1.5+ Million A Year Twitter Success Story

TwitPic, the place that many of us use for hosting pictures that we tweet, is really “four guys in a garage.” Of the four, two are the parents of the founder Noah Everett. This is de ja vu of HotorNot. Check out these numbers:

  • In 2009, the TwitPic sold more that $1.5 million in ads
  • For every million in sales, the company keeps $700,000
  • The site has about 6.5 million registered users

What a great story! This gives a whole new meaning to “Noah’s arc.” Be sure to read the TwitPic story.

To me this is more of a right place at the right time story.

Also, it's brilliant how Mashable can make such a huge impact. :)

Makes me wonder how the others (hmm, yfrog is the only one that comes to mind) are doing.
