#2More from Apps of a Feather:
1) Push notifications will no longer arrive
2) Timelines won’t refresh automatically
If you use an app like Talon, Tweetbot, Tweetings, or Twitterrific, there is no way for its developer to fix these issues.

I mean, if they had a decent app I wouldn’t worry, but why they offer can’t be compared to Tweetbot and others.

#4I deleted my twitter account a while ago but this is a new level of forgetting history. If I remember correctly Twitterrific/Iconfactory were the first folks to actually use the verb 'tweet', and absolutely provided the first iteration of the interface to twitter that we all expect today. It took acquiring Tweetie, which literally invented 'pull to refresh', before they had their own native app 3 years after Twitterrific had been released.
Twitter's success is directly attributable to a fantastic native app ecosystem on mobile platforms. If there's a lesson to be learned here, I guess it's "don't make apps for platforms you don't control because they'll drop you like it's hot the moment investors want an exit"...
As an aside, Tweetie/Twitter for iPad's column based interface was one of the absolute best interfaces I'd ever seen and used on a tablet, and one I have yet to see reimplemented in a use-friendly way to this day.

#6Favstar was useful back in the day when you didn't get notifications about favs, etc. Not so much anymore. I also used it to read the most liked tweets of certain users, but these greedy fucks want you to pay to read the top one (which you can bypass with Inspect Element) and to read more than the top 10 or so. So, good riddance.
