On June 19, Twitter has said it will be disabling "streaming
services," which is how third-party apps like Tweetbot and
Twitterrific can stream the timeline and send push notifications.
The replacement, the Account Activity API is not available to
third-party developers …

If this plays out the way it seems at the moment, this might not work
out the way Twitter hopes it will. This feels like a monetization play.
I know of only one person in my circle who prefers the default Twitter
client experience. As "[2]The Most Interesting Man in the World" might
say, "I don't always visit Twitter. But when I do, I prefer Tweetbot."
The third party developers of Twitter clients Twitterific, Tweetbot,
Tallon, and Tweetings [3]have a website on the topic and [4]there's an
associated hashtag campaign. These efforts impacted Twitter's plans at
least to delay implementation.
"Stay tweety, my friends"?
