Twitter support said:” We have suspended UberTwitter and twidroyd for violating our policies.

Every day, we suspend hundreds of applications that are in violation of our policies. Generally, these apps are used by a small number of users. We are taking the unusual step of sharing this with you because today’s suspension may affect a larger number of users.

We are committed to helping you continue to use Twitter during the disruption of these applications.”

UberMedia responded that it had made the “very small” changes requested by Twitter, which include changing the name of “UberTwitter” to “UberSocial.
