As the micro-blogging giant Twitter is clamping down all third party software developers, and is insisting to become the primary interface for all its official applications, it is anticipated that Twitter may be accessible through its own software soon.

Reportedly, the move through which Twitter aims to make its official applications popular has infuriated the software developers.

“The move is widely seen as an attempt by Twitter to take control of the service to boost ad revenues and improve commercialization. Developers responded quickly, with one calling the announcement appalling,” informed a source.

Rapid growth behind the move

In a bid to restrict third party client applications from invading over its own applications, micro-blogging giant Twitter has issued some ‘State of the Platform’ rules on Friday.

According to an official announcement, the company has decided to come down hard on the third party applications that aim at being a replacement for the official applications of Twitter.

Ryan Sarver, Twitter's platform lead said that the company would be the primary interface for the users and so they have changed the ‘Terms of Services’ for third-party application developers.

Findings of a latest survey have revealed that among the social media users, women and youngsters surpassed the number of men and older adults.

According to the San-Francisco’s Netpop Research firm’s survey, women in their early 30s are likely to involve in more than six social media activities, at a time.

Titled as ‘Social Animals: Who's Sharing What and Why Online?’, the report aimed to find out internet usage and the growing trends, that is the type of websites people accessed and it found that 73 percent of internet users used social media sites.

"It's becoming a form of seamless integration with users' lives; it's always with them," informed Cate Riegner, vice-president of Brand Insights and co-founder of Netpop Research.
