We hope you weren’t planning to find your Twitter friends outside of Twitter because pretty soon it will likely be impossible to do so.
Twitter has slowly but surely been cutting out major third-party sites, preventing then from offering a “Find Twitter Friends” search feature.
The latest third-party site to lose access to your Twitter contacts is, as Buzzfeed’s Matt Buchanan first noted, hosted blogging service Tumblr. Previously Twitter has cut off LinkedIn and, more recently, photo-sharing site Instagram.
Tumblr still offers a way to find your friends on the service by searching either Gmail contacts or Facebook friends.
