Twitpic is Shutting Down

Twitpic announced this week that they will be shutting down their service. It appears that Twitpic’s upload API has already been shut down and is now reporting errors when uploading images.

I’m also working on Wi-Fi streaming timeline refresh for a future 2.1 update. The streaming feature will help reduce issues with Twitter’s new 1.1 API limits.

Please understand that Twitter’s rate limit changes are from Twitter, not us. I understand your frustration with Twitter’s new rate limits, but unfortunately Twitter’s changes are out of our control. If you’re interested in the technical details, see this this article on Twitter’s developer site. Twitter is beginning the process this week of retiring their prior 1.0 API, so all developers are now required to switch to their new 1.1 API. You can read more about Twitter’s 1.0 API retirement plans here.

An alternative way to authorize your imported iOS account for DM access is to follow these steps:

Sorry about this problem, it will be fixed in the next update.
