As we've described in a number of recent posts -- including one about my ongoing "love-hate" relationship with the service -- Twitter has been going through a transformation of sorts recently, closing down access to the network by third-party apps and services, controlling more of the content that flows through the system, and generally irritating developers (and in many cases users).
