Sad times. The third-party clients have always been _the_ way to access Twitter. One of my early favorites was Twinkle, made by Tapulous. It was pretty awesome, and even included searching for tweets from nearby users! This was pretty revolutionary and seriously fun in 2008. It helped us organized some Vancouver "tweetups" in 2008 and 2009. (Of course most recently I had settled on TweetBot, which was an amazing iOS Twitter client) Some stuff about Twinkle, since I didn't see anyone else talking about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20080718210738/http://tapulous.com/twinkle/ https://web.archive.org/web/20080718210738/http://tapulous.c... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RSB2MT01BQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RSB2MT01BQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd4u-E5qmxE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd4u-E5qmxE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_hxXOYIqrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_hxXOYIqrQ
