Looks like Twitter has finally killed off API access for good: can you still call it twitter or x?

Twitter equals Twixer in this blog post. We can’t call it twitter anymore.

Hello folks,

i’m about a day behind as I was out of the office yesterday. While I’ll be trying to get some things posted today, I also need to get some recording done.

I don’t know if anyone wants to record something about this one, as we’re learning that Twixer as we call it, has finally killed off the Free API once and for all.

I’ve blogged through the past couple of years during Elon’s takeover of Twixer from his car company having problems, to the demise of the API for disabled people, and the destruction of the service as journalists have written as well.

Maybe this will be the final coughin digging that they’ll do Maybe this will have few people using the thing.

Maybe services like DLVR will more than likely die, but I haven’t seen anything about that. If that’s the case, I’ll be moving more stuff to Mastodon that is tech related.

The article is titled Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services is the article to read with this latest update.

I could continue by going on a diatribe on how we have tried to push accessibility, inclusion, responsibility by a provider like Twixer, accountibility, and possibly other words that I’m not thinking of at the moment.

I’m sure that if you search Twitter, you’ll find all of the various posts we’ve posted about the destruction of the service.

At this point, I don’t call it Twitter, I don’t call it X, I’ll call it officially: Twixer.

I’ve never heard of Nitter, but it sounds like a very interesting service. I wonder what they’ll do now that they can’t keep giving folks updates on Twitter?

Is it time to say good-bye to the service? Sound off in the comments, and let’s hear what you have to say!
