Heya @jivoi

I've gone through all the tools within the Social Media Tools --> Twitter section, and removed those of which are either no longer functional, or have been down for a significant amount of time.

Since the recent changes to the Twitter API, a lot of apps that relied on Twitter data, have now stopped working.

Changes:

  • Removed alldaytrends, as no longer accessible
  • Removed backtweets, as no longer functional
  • Removed bluenod, as domain has been sold / parked
  • Removed followerwonk, as aquired by Fedica
  • Removed geosocialfootprint, as no longer functional
  • Removed gettwitterid, as domain purchased to marketing company
  • Removed groundsignal, as not an OSINT tool (beverage marketing)
  • Removed Harvard TweetMap, as no longer accessible (redirect to other Harvard maps)
  • Removed hashtagify, as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed Hashtags.org, as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed Social Bearing as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed spoonbill as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed tinfoleak as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed trendsmap as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed todaytagz as domain has been transfered
  • Removed tweetarchivist as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed tweetstats as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed twiangulate as Twitter data no longer loads
  • Removed twitonomy as project is dead
  • Removed warble as Twitter data no longer loads

Most of what remains is either still functional, or was behind a paywall, and as such I wasn't able to test.

Feels quite sad to be submitting a PR that removes so many previously valuable tools 馃槩 (my Twitter OSINT app also had to be retired). But having the broken apps still on this list, would make it harder for readers to find the still functional services, so I think it's for the best.
