This will directly affect the Talon, Tweetings, Twitterrific and Tweetbot and encourage users to trend #BreakingMyTwitter. Twitter will also provide 90 days notice from when the Account Activity API becomes available.
Twitter didn’t mention how long will it take the execution to happen. But we expect twitter would make some push notifications like things, but third-party apps will still not have any of the live updating features. Let’s wait and see what Twitter brings us in nearby months.
