do the impossible: save more than 800 million pictures uploaded to the
Twitter photo-sharing service Twitpic before they disappear down the memory
hole after the company’s scheduled shutdown on October 25.

For this group of digital librarians, saving a bunch of stranger’s pictures
is about keeping alive a key piece of our digital culture.
