Recurring Tweets On Twitter Accounts Are Being Discontinued

Oct. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Marc said, "Within Social Oomph there is a free version and a paid for version. A big part why we went for the paid for version was for the recurring tweets."

Here is a statement from Socila Oomph's blog:

On Monday, October 12th, 2009, Twitter communicated to us that recurring tweets are in violation of their Terms of Service. Twitter’s rationale centered around the potential for recurring tweets to result in duplicate tweets.

The content of the communication is extracted for your benefit below:

Recurring Tweets are a violation no matter how they are done, including whether or not someone pays you to have a special privilege. We don’t want to see any duplicate tweets whatsoever- They pollute Twitter, and tools shouldn’t be given to enable people to break the rules. Spinnable text seems to just be a way to bypass the rules against duplicate updates and essentially provides the same problems.

Hence, from Thursday, October 15th, 2009, 00:00 AM CST we will prevent the entry of recurring tweets on Twitter accounts within the SocialOomph system. Existing recurring tweets on Twitter accounts will all be placed in paused state at that time, so that the content of the tweet text is still accessible to you, but no publishing to Twitter of those tweets will take place. Recurring tweets scheduled for other social services will not be affected by this change.



Now you might be saying that's great, no more spammers on Twitter, Marc's company dislike these people as much as anyone else, but they run a online business in a very professional manor. They have a very large amount of follows from all around the world, and they would only re-cure a tweet 5 times a day so this would cater for different time zones around the world.

It's not Social Oomph's fault for this action to take place, this is happening across the board. Social Oomph has saved Marc so much time in his business by using Twitter, and has been a very useful tool.


Marc said "Why doesn't Twitter focus on the real spammers, and the Britney Sucks or Horney Hotties out there and let us real business people make Twitter a part of our business."
