Those who preferred Twitter's earlier, more liberal ways have regarded May 7th (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/20/twitter-narrows-tweetdeck-air-and-mobile-app-shutdowns-to-may-7/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) with a sense of dread, as that's when API 1.0 (and our chance at a truly competitive (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/16/twitter-api-1.1-third-party-client/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) app ecosystem) was supposed to go dark. While the company isn't about to reverse course, it is giving the refuseniks a break by delaying the shutdown until June 11th. More time is necessary for blackout tests, Twitter says. We wouldn't lean too heavily on remaining API 1.0-era apps and services when that instability exists, but the extra month does allow for a gentler transition into API 1.1's brave new world.
