Twitter kills Politwoops, which exposed politicians' deleted tweets
http://tktk.gawker.com/twitter-just-killed-politwoops-1708842376
A Twitter spokesperson just provided the following statement to Gawker
regarding the apparent suspension of Politwoops' access to Twitter's
developer API, which enabled the Sunlight Foundation-funded site to
track tweets deleted by hundreds of politicians. Summarized:
Politwoops is no more.

Perhaps Politwoops (which exposed the deleted embarrassing public
Tweets of politicians) was unwilling to pay up the way NBC/Comcast
must have for the merciless Twitter spamming of Twitter users' accounts
and email that has been in progress pushing users to follow Ellen
DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon. Perhaps?
