ThinkUp Upgrades to API 1.1

The transition was painless, and ThinkUp came out of it with cleaner, leaner, and smarter code.

The API 1.1 changes affected ThinkUp in two major ways, and a few minor ones.

First, per-endpoint rate limiting meant revisiting usage throttling approach. more calls per hour than it had before. 15 minutes enforcement instead of every 60, means users

can update their data more often without maxing out. API 1.1 pushed ThinkUp to move from consuming XML

to JSON Twitter data. Adjusting the visual layout of tweets in the insights

stream to comply with Twitter’s Display Requirements.http://blog.thinkup.com/post/43794639806/thinkup-upgrades-to-twitter-api-1-1

Changes to 'Sign in with Twitter’

Twitter supports OAuth 1.0a Allow this application to use 'Sign

in with Twitter' has returned to the flow So applications can explicitly define

their intended authorization behavior. This change allows automatic

redirection only for applications that request it.

Applications that use /oauth/authenticate and rely on the automatic redirection behavior for logged-in users must enable this "Sign in with Twitter" option.

If the option is not enabled, users will instead be directed to /oauth/authorize and will then be prompted to complete the application approval flow.
