Twitter Blocks Popular Tweetro Windows 8 App

Tweetro one of the most popular downloads in the Windows Store and the first Twitter app that uses the “Metro” tiled interface that distinguishes Windows 8 was refused extra “tokens” beyond the permissible 100,000 tokens that would allow more than 100,000 users to access Twitter through Tweetro and to grow its user base.

Until the time Windows 8 gets a native Twitter app , Tweetro was one of the best alternatives for Windows 8 users. Twitter is receiving strong criticism by third party developers for this move. Tweetro, zoomed past 100,000 user tokens in only a few days after Windows 8′s release.

Developers were unhappy since Twitter announced its API changes in August this year to limit applications that “replicate the core Twitter experience” to 100,000 user tokens.
