I did, it looks like an article I read about a week ago that also said Twitter updated it’s terms. All I know is that right now, Tweesecake still works and when I was on Windows TWBlue still did. Maybe they’ll drop tomorrow, maybe they won’t. Twiter did let me authorize an account the other day on Tweesecake which surprised me. I’m wondering if there is a difference between apps who have paid for access to Twitters API. All you can do is enjoy your third-party ap while it works.
