Twitter just announced that it will be removing its #Music app from the App Store “21 March.”

List IDs are now 64-bit integers
Making room for more lists on Twitter by expanding IDs to 64-bit integers.
If you’re using REST and Streaming APIs, you should confirm that your database, server-side and client-side code consume the safe string-based identifiers represented in “id_str” fields instead of the integer-based identifiers found in the “id” field of Twitter List objects and related references.
What happened to Retweets might happen to @ replies
Originally people typed RT at the beginning of a Tweet to indicate that they are re-posting someone else's content. This wasn’t a twitter feature, it was created by users to signify that they are amplifying another user's Tweet. Old style RT is arcane, required you to know the command People subvert it with ‘MT’ for modifications, as adding text
shortens the available text for the tweet.
Twitter's Retweet feature makes it easier by helping you quickly share a Tweet with all of your followers. New style Retweets are distinguished by the Retweet icon and
the name of the user who retweeted the Tweet. You don’t have to know about Twitter to Retweet
You don’t see the text ‘RT’
What happened to Retweets might happen to @ replies
Originally people typed an @reply as an update posted by clicking the @ and a username as the first characters in a tweet. Old style @ reply is arcane, required you to know the command People subvert it with .@username to be a reply all Twitter don’t want it to be called a reply, they prefer ‘mention’
Twitter's Reply feature might make it easier by helping you quickly mention a user to all of your followers. New style Replies are distinguished by the Reply icon and the name of the
user who retweeted the Tweet. You don’t have to know about Twitter to Retweet
You don’t see the @username
Twitter are believed to be testing such functionality, with the objective of removing some of the plumbing from the eyes of the end-user.
Developers take note – you can expect more of this as twitter drives up from the commmand line to apps.

startup SecondSync, a UK
