It’s a big milestone day for us here at Twitpic and we want to say thank you to all of our users…all 10 million of you (not to mention the 40 million different people who visit the site every month)!
I launched Twitpic 2 years ago over a weekend as a pet project and I had no idea it would turn into what it has today – Twitpic would not be what it is without all of you, our faithful users, and you truly do mean a lot to us…*queue group hug*
To show our thanks we are also releasing a new feature today called Face Tagging. With Face Tagging you can tag people in your photos and also let them know when they’ve been tagged. If you are familiar with Facebook’s photo tagging then this should be very familiar to you.
Face Tagging in action

We hope you enjoy the new features and we have much more in the works!
Also we will be giving out free hugs to all of our users to say thanks…@noaheverett likes hugs.

Great something else I need to be cautious of who tags me on…
Seriously though love the idea
Thanks for the hugs and hugs back to you @noaheverett ! Thank you for WONDERFUL Twitpic!
K. Now how do I stop someone from tagging me? #privacy
Congratulations!

Guys,
great move on photo tagging.
Are you looking to expand the API to handle this as well? Eg API calls to tag people in photos?

A big individual hug back!! Thanks for all your hard work, blood, sweat & tears you have invested in making this possible.
Congrats!
This is a very cool feature. Thanks.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next
Is there any way to opt out of this feature, so that:
1) Nobody will be able to facetag my uploaded pics? (That’s assuming a user can facetag other users’ pics -not sure about that)
2) Other users won’t be able to “facetag” their pics with my Twitter/Twitpic username?
Thanks.
Congratulations. Great job done in the last years!

Congrats on hitting this huge milestone Noah!
If you’re brainstorming for more new features, I’ve got a super simple one. It’d be handy if I could add tags when posting by email, either as hashtags or in the body of the email.
This is a relly cool feature that can grow up the TwitPic Community.

I’m with @MacSmiley. How do you prevent yourself from being tagged?

Great job! I’m still astonished how much you have accomplished independently. Looking forward to future features…

Did you know according to Alexa you are #133 in the WORLD and #77 in the US.
That put you a little behind Digg (119) and way ahead of Reddit (289). WOW!
