From Bill Gross, founder of UberMedia:
"Twitter has requested that we make some small changes to our clients, which we are doing right now, & we will be back live again asap."

According to Twitter, UberMedia infused twitter streams in their apps with ads. Turning off that 'feature' is probably trivial, but if that's UberMedia's business model, I can understand why they're hesitant to do so.
But what problem should twitter be having ? If public dislike the ads they won't use it probably. If they are doing so, they are probably OK with it. There are lots of ads-free client out there.
With 140 characters, there's no room signature spam.
Twitter's policy that you can't alter the user's tweeters is one of the first thing a developer sees in the terms of use.
