Twitter is going to shut off old end-points and deprecate other "unsupported" APIs. Since the SuperTweet.net API is a simply a proxy for the Twitter API, your Supertweet.net apps will also need to comply with these changes to the Twitter API.
Twitter had originally set May 14, 2012 as the day they would begin enforcing these updates, but they recently indicated that the plans have changed as a result of "feedback" (angry screaming customers) and Twitter is now saying the new plan is to "more incrementally phase these deprecations over the next several weeks."

We have been told that "slapping the door shut on someone or a group [Rainmeter users] simply because they're not the average user helps no one. Why not add a premium support option ?" So that's what we have done. When such a user clicks 'Activate' to activate their SuperTweet.net API credentials, they will now be given the opportunity to donate to SuperTweet.net right then and there.
For the price of a premium cup of coffee or a cold beer you get lifetime use of the SuperTweet.net API. Is that really so much to ask?
You're welcome.

A cool project from Freescale Semiconductor by Carlos Musich and Luis Garabito: MCU control and monitor with Twitter (PDF)
It demonstrates using the Freescale TWR-K60N512- KIT ($139 from Digikey) and the SuperTweet.net API to pull data from the MCU and publish to a twitter account.

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet
http://vimeo.com/31100268
About this video:
"Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - http://www.fightforthefuture.org/pipa
PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."
The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year -- that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights."

A quick reminder. If you want to get help with the Supertweet.net API, the quality of the information you provide about the exact nature of the problem you're having is directly proportional to the chance of your problem getting resolved by the Supertweet.net volunteers. The more details you provide, the more likely we will be able to identify and fix your problem. On the other hand, the more ridiculous and incomplete your request is, the more likely your problem isn't going to get resolved.
Specifically, if you think the Supertweet.net services is the problem, we need the exact request (what is being sent over the wire) and the exact response (what is coming back from the server, on the network), with passwords removed of course, but including IP addresses. Your code may be interesting, and we may or may not be able to help with specific coding issues, but what we really need to resolve any service issues is what is being sent over the network and what you're getting back from the SuperTweet.net API, i.e. a capture of what is going over the wire.
In most cases, a tweet like "it's not working" isn't going to get your specific problem resolved. And resending that same useless tweet 50 times isn't going to move things any closer to a resolution either.
Use forum to post the full details of any issues you're having with the service. That's how you will get help: http://www.supertweet.net/community
