I HATE UBERSOCIAL!
You know Twidroyd was like the best thing on this earth! BEST. THING. ON. THIS. EARTH. Then ubersocial took over and it constantly pisses me off, BUT tonight it goes on a random freaking blocking spree and THEN starts favoriting every damn tweet in my timeline! I might be plotting the app's DEATH tonight!
I like how Twidroyd just changed the name of their app to UberSocial. I had it on auto update. I was like wtf, I didn't download that...
Direct messages from UberSocial and Twidroyd can go public
If you're using Twidroyd or UberSocial on BlackBerry or iPhone you'll need to be careful for a while when sending direct messages. Apparently private messages longer than 140 characters sent by typing "d username" in the text box get sent to public according to tweets sent by Twitter via the @safety account.
UberMedia, the company behind the two apps had been in trouble with Twitter previously for a number of violations including trademark infringement, privacy issues, and violations of Twitter's agreement on using its API. Twitter was so enraged that it shut down access to a number of UberMedia's Twitter applications until the problems were rectified.
Among UberMedia's previous violations, direct messages longer than 140 characters were published with Twitlonger making them available to be read by anyone on Twitlonger's pages as long as they know the web address.
This time, while direct messages are no longer linked to Twitlonger, they can still be read publicly, which obviously defeats the entire purpose of them being private. This latest issue is probably how some people whose names are mentioned in a direct message can sometimes know that they're being talked about.
Twitter is working with UberMedia to make sure every direct message stay private. In the meantime, users of UberSocial and Twidroyd will need to watch out when sending direct messages, at least make sure they don't go beyond 140 characters before sending.

This my man Twidroyd. My favorite and trusted Twitter App. on the entire android market
Users of the UberTwitter and TwiDroyd applications found themselves without access to Twitter this weekend, as Twitter suspended access to the API for both app developers.

Twidroyd now back online!
Although it took a little why to go through the Twitter approval process, we're glad to let all you Twidroyd users out there know that services have now been restored. The recent suspension put in place by Twitter has been removed, and it is suggested that you grab the latest Twidroyd update if you're still seeing any issues.
1. Twitter said that in UberTwitter and Twidroyd we use a tweet-elongation service named tmi.me that allows people to write more than 140 characters, and that this service may post private messages on a public website. At their request, we have removed this ability.
