Twitter API Update

Written by craigwmiller | Feb 7, 2013 9:28:31 PM

We have updated our code to use Twitter's new API v1.1.

Twitter's v1.0 version of their API has been deprecated and will be retired March 5th 2013. (Here is the announcement from Twitter: https://dev.twitter.com/blog/changes-coming-to-twitter-api)

During this required change over we felt it was a good time to go through all of our Twitter implementation and spruce things up! One of the biggest things we noticed was that in several places we were using the term 'Twitter Friends' when we were actually displaying data from your 'Twitter Followers'. Many data points have now had the wording (with sometimes improved functionality) updated to be consistent to how the data was actually being presented, ala your Twitter 'Followers'. Heck, who is Following you is a very important part of your engagement so now the website descriptions clearly depict the data you were being presented.
