Tapbots Pulls Tweetbot Alpha Due to Twitter API Changes

Tapbots has announced that it's pulled the alpha of its Tweetbot for Mac client due to Twitter's recent API changes.

As some of you may have already noticed the download link for the Tweetbot for Mac alpha no longer works. Twitter's latest API Changes means now we have a large but finite limit on the number of user tokens we can get for Tweetbot for Mac. We've been working with Twitter over the last few days to try to work around this limit for the duration of the beta but have been unable to come up with a solution that was acceptable to them. Because of this we've decided its best for us to pull the alpha.

Twitter recently changed its API guidelines limiting 3rd party clients to 100,000 tokens or 2 times the number of tokens they had as of August 16th 2012.
