Yesterday, a group of developers put up a web site pointing out Twitter’s plans to deprecate streaming services, critical for third party Twitter apps (our post about this is here).

Following a wave of protest, from developers and users alike, Twitter responded in a series of tweets:

Last year we announced our plan to retire Site Streams & User Streams, and replace them with the Account Activity API (currently in beta). We are delaying the scheduled June 19th deprecation date.

While I’m glad to see Twitter respond, I’ll be interested to see the response from Twitter devs. Is this simply delaying the end, or is Twitter’s announced Accounts Activity API an adequate solution to keep third party Twitter apps in the game?
