Twitter’s been in a state of near constant flux nowadays, with changes coming one after another, and mostly for the better. One of those for-the-better changes was the addition of OAuth log-in authentication that requires a Twitter user to authorize specific applications to use their accounts, and works through Twitter instead of the client.
For Tweed, that’s posed a slight problem, as with Twitter OAuth they no longer keep the user’s password logged on the device. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem, except that as OAuth has moved towards mandatory usage, Tweed’s integration with media upload services like yFrog and TwitVid was broken in the process.
Realizing the error of their not-completely-updated ways, the folks at Pivotal Labs (the people behind Tweed) are finishing up an update to Tweed that will bring OAuth log-in to all of the app as well as fix some other bugs that were introduced with version 1.8.

Coming soon to the webOS App Catalog will be version 1.5 of Pivotal Labs’ popular Twitter client Tweed. As posted on the company blog, Tweed 1.5 will come with integrated TwitVid uploads. It’ll be a beta feature, as webOS in its current form doesn’t have any mechanisms for retrying failed uploads (which can happen with large files like videos over cellular, so Pivotal Labs recommends you do video uploads over Wi-Fi). A demonstration video has been already posted to TwitVid.
Tweed 1.5 will come with a number of other changes and fixes, including updates to the Load More feature, external links, and notifications. Additionally, the price of Tweed is going to be temporarily cut from $2.99 to $0.99. This is due to problems with the free version (Tweed Trial), on which development was stopped with version 0.9.16. Changes made with webOS 1.4 rendered Tweed Trial inoperative, so Pivotal Labs is going to withdraw the app and will temporarily reduce the price of the full Tweed to $0.99 to allow for an easy upgrade path for Tweed Trial users.
Thanks to Bassam and miles4000 for the tips!
