UberTwitter and Twidroyd Suspended for Policy Violations

For this to be respectable on Twitter's part, they should have outlined what policy violations were committed.

As someone who has a number of twitter apps, all this does is make me feel even more afraid of twitter's increasingly hostile attitude toward their developer community

Twitter has always held policy violations close to their chest. I have seen numerous complaints from developers about lack of clarification.

Marshall Kirkpatrick (of ReadWriteWeb) tweeted that Twitter suspended UberTwitter for "changing tweets to monetize, trademark infringement, privacy issues with DMs."

Coincidental timing? Twitter is also running a Promoted Trend for @TwitterMobile today:

Both owned by UberMedia, who last week raised a huge round of funding and purchased TweetDeck.
