Twitter has finally confirmed what everyone pretty much already knew — that it’s behind the outage of popular third-party Twitter clients such as Tweetbot and Twitterific.
Responding to the tweet, Tapbots, developer of Tweetbot, said that its app “has been around for over 10 years, we’ve always complied with the Twitter API rules. If there’s some existing rule that we need to comply with, we’d be happy to do so, if possible. But we do need to know what it is…@TwitterDev, you know how to reach us.”If there's some existing rule that we need to comply with, we'd be happy to do so, if possible.
This was pretty much confirmed on Saturday by The Information, which reported that it’d viewed recent internal messages at Twitter, including one by a senior software engineer who described the outage as “intentional.” But the lack of clarity from Twitter is frustrating not only for the many people who have enjoyed using these apps for years, but also for the developers, who have spent a great deal of time and effort refining the software, with no objection from Twitter until now.
