Why Twitter's API news is madness

With Twitter's changes to its API, announced yesterday, the API as we knew it is effectively dead.

Here's why it's a bad idea...

Tweetbot for Mac is the TweetDeck replacement you have been waiting for

It was a dark dark day for marketers when Twitter bought TweetDeck and closed the old development path in favour of releasing a stripped back and simplified new version.

Since then, many have chosen to stick with the old download of TweetDeck available from sites like Old Apps, myself included. Others will have made the leap to HootSuite, thanks to its close 'column-based' similarity.

But these options leave you stuck in the past, clinging to a client that has buttons for sharing to Google Buzz and MySpace (!)

What hope is there on the horizon for a new tool that lets marketers post to and monitor different accounts quickly and easily from a native app?
