UberMedia has responded to inquiries about today's snafu between them and Twitter, which resulted in Twidroyd being suspended from using the Twitter APIs. While it was an embarrassing situation, it looks like it was fixed relatively easy, and just as they earlier tweeted, a working Twidroyd should be back in the Android Market soon. See their response in full, after the break. Thanks Steve!

In the mean time give Seesmic a try. I really like it.
Shaner says:
Can you update Facebook via Twidroyd? I have been using Tweetdeck but always trying other apps. Just curious.
I_Am_Incredible says:
That was a bitch move by twitter. The would suspending apps thing could have been avoided if they talked to them first.
rion_j says:
i agree!!!! they couldnt contact them first and say hey can you guys fix something for us! wtf!!!
Flur says:
Actually, according to Twitter, they did contact them first. Twitter's been trying to get them to make various changes since April of last year.
One of things they were cited for was changing the content of users' tweets to make money. If that's what they were doing, I'm glad Twitter shut them down and forced them to change their practices.

is twidroyd the same as ubertwitter for bb?
Jenathi says:
Not exactly there's some similarities and some differences, it's been a year since I used ubertwitter though lol
rmt5 says:
Does anyone know which other clients let you see tweets in your nearby area? That was the primary reason i used twydroid.
dyphx says:
TweetCaster lets you view nearby tweets
zefie says:
They aren't denying they profited from or modified user tweets >.> Shady.

I just downloaded the new twidryod from the market am I'm pretty sure the "changing users tweet for profit" was the use of twitlonger instead of a tweet extender not own by them becuase this new one uses a different open souce client to shorten tweets and put in geotagging (google for the latter) Twitter just needs to unsuspend them now so I can get back to tweeting... lol
bigurn3 says:
is twidroyd back up yet?
reverendrhino says:
Don't matter who is at fault, but it shut me down for to long. I got TweetDeck now and ain't looking back. To bad I can't get a refund anymore.
