Twitter says its ending legacy APIs, not ‘killing’ third-party clients

Twitter's long-awaited AI changes have now been activated after first being announced earlier this year. In doing so, key features are currently being disabled for third-party Twitter clients such as Tweetbot and Twitterific.  We're now hearing more from Twitter on why these changes have been implemented and why it's essential for the company going forward. The comments came through in a company-wide email sent to employees just as the changes went live.

Tweetbot users will be happy to hear that the Tapbots have updated their popular Twitter client today to support the just-released macOS Sierra software. The release brings the app to version 2.4.2, and it includes several improvements.

Among these improvements is support for extended Tweets—a change Twitter made to its service this week that prevents media URLs and Quote Tweets from counting against your 140 character limit. It also now supports extended videos.
