Noah Everett
Founder, Twitpic

The idea for Twitpic was simple: create a way to share photos on Twitter. What began as a side project in February 2008 quickly became a trial-by-fire lesson in scaling under the pressure of unexpected and massive growth. As a one-man show, Noah Everett single-handedly grew the site from inception to a service now used by over 25 million users, including celebrities, politicians, and his mom. Twitpic become a source for breaking news after photos of the downed plane on the Hudson appeared first on the site. Today, Twitpic serves billions of requests and receives over 500,000,000 page views a month. This traffic has propelled the site into the top 100 websites in the world, and has led to millions of dollars in advertising revenues for Twitpic.

Born in the South and raised in Oklahoma, he was too young to get into college when he finished high school at age 15. Instead, he spent 15 hours a day online, teaching himself the mechanics of the Internet and laying the groundwork for his later calling as a web developer.

He recently relocated to Charleston, SC, where he continues to grow Twitpic while tweeting about subsisting on Frosted Mini-Wheats.
