EasyTweets has made the transition from BasicAuth to oAuth.
With this change, EasyTweets can no longer post tweets as ‘API’.
All tweets will post as EasyTweets from now on.

We were recently contacted by the folks at Twitter:

We’re writing to let you know that your application, EasyTweets, breaks our Automation Rules and Best Practices (http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/76915). Specifically, it facilitates automated following of users that appear in “continuous searches,” which is not allowed. It’s best for both our users and your users if your application follows the rules, so please make the necessary changes to bring your application into compliance.

In our earlier blog post about Pubcon 2009, we mentioned that I would be speaking at Pubcon about trends in the Twitter API.

Here are the slides from my presentation.

I just wanted to take a moment to apologize to EasyTweets users for the longer than expected downtime we experienced today.

We’ve had a very productive month! In March we added some bold new features, and made a lot of small changes too..

Although many people still use Twitter.com, a large percentage of users do not. They could be using EasyTweets, or TweetDeck, or an iPhone app, etc. This makes it difficult to track who is coming to your site, and what they are doing when they get there.
