Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There are now more than one million registered third-party applications on Twitter, built by 750,000 developers worldwide.
The site has added a new app to its ecosystem every 1.5 seconds, rapidly growing from the 150,000 apps on the site in 2010 to the more than 1 million available today.
"Apps help people understand and make the most of Twitter, whether they're on the web, on mobile, and even watching television," said Twitter in a July 11 blog post announcing its achievement.
Examples of how third-party apps are enriching the online microblogging site include Trendrr and its tweet sentiment measurement, Poptweets and its iPhone trivia game "that challenges players to match Tweets with the famous people who said them," and Mass Relevance's real-time content curation and visualization, which "combed through more than 160,000 Tweets to bring the White House's first Twitter Town Hall to life."
Twitter's new developer site connects developers with Twitter team members, enhances communication between app developers, and provides improved reference material and documentation.
