I just wanted to take a second to let everyone know about Countdown, an application developed by myself which is available in the Apple App Store.

The purpose of countdown is simple, you enter a date and it shows you a countdown to that date and notifies you when the date is imminent. It supports multiple dates, local notifications and advanced user interface customisation.

What's more it is totally free and available now! Grab your copy today!!!

Twitter have disabled posting from Countdown

Those of you who may be wondering why you can no longer post your countdowns to Twitter should be aware that Twitter have disabled the application and banned it from their servers.

This is due to the fact that I decided to use a URL shortening service to shorten the applications links. Twitter see's this as URL obfuscation and as such is a potential security risk - quite logical when you see it from their point of view.

I have now updated the links to use the fully qualified URL, and emailed Twitter to let them know. I hope for a speedy resolution to the issue.
