UBER MEDIA OVERSTEPS ITS BOUNDS

Update: UberMedia says it has updated UberTwitter and Twidroyd to comply with the changes. A new version of Twidroyd will be available soon in the Android Market.

Twitter announced Friday that it has suspended popular third-party Twitter clients UberTwitter and Twidroyd for policy violations.

Both applications are part of UberMedia, a startup that has made a name for itself by acquiring high-profile Twitter clients for multiple platforms and devices. Last week, UberMedia acquired TweetDeck for an estimated $30 million.

Twitter posted a notice in the Twitter Help Center informing users of the change. Twitter says: MASHABLE

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
