What Twitter apps closed down?

Posted by ⋅ ⋅

Here at EverythingTwitter we have reviewed hundreds of apps. Well many of them come and go. Some got bought. Others closed shop when APIs changed. And some just lost the interest or funds of the developer.

One good way to keep up with your own privacy, and see what has closed, is to view your in your Twitter profile.  You should see the below after you log in.
