Well that was quick — mere hours after learning of Twitter’s banning of popular 3rd party services, UberTwitter and Twidroyd, parent company, UberMedia has already stated that the accusations made by Twitter have been fixed. This is slightly odd in the sense that Twitter themselves had stated that they had been warning UberMedia since April of last year about the suposed violations — violations which included insecure handling of 140+ character Direct Messages, mis-handling of links, UberTwitter’s use of “Twitter” in its name. On that latter note, UberTwitter is going to get a name change (as Twidroyd did) to UberSocial.
Now that the apps themselves were put in jeopardy, UberMedia acted. Slightly ridiculous if you ask us. But hey. At the end of the day, everyone will be happy and connected once again. Look for these updated apps to hit their respective mobile app stores once Twitter un-bans the apps’ APIs.
