    Hi All,

    http://dev.twitter.com/announcements

    I saw many websites now giving errors: "Basic authentication has been disabled".
    One of my websites with free twitter auto-responder also impacted by that change, and I placed red banner stating that this functionality temporary unavailable.

    Just let you know and hear if somebody here was impacted by this as well and what steps are you taking now.

    shouldn't be too hard we were aware of the coming change at tweetbuddy.net and made teh necessary changes
    shouldn't be that hard to get compliance from your users the will just have to reconnect with twitter again from your site

    that is true. In addition to changes that I need to do, I need also contact all signed people and let them know about the change.
