3rd party Twitter clients no longer have access to Twitter's API.

The response from Twitter? Silence.

That Twitter won't say anything is egregious. It demonstrates they should never be trusted with any developer ecosystem again.

@atomicpoet I use Twitterbot and Twitterific apps with Twitter's app, and noticed the disconnect this morning. I don't believe it was accidental, but clearly intentional to make a point with third party app developers and users. Programmers aren't that stupid. Question is what Twitter wants from them and users.
