If you’ve been curious about the variety of services that enhance the Twitter experience, you have probably given some of these services access to your Twitter account. It’s been a trade-off accepted by many people who want more from Twitter other than the basic functionality offered by Twitter.com.
Over time, however, many of these services are probably no longer used but they still have access to your Twitter account. While it’s unlikely bad things could happen, it’s good idea to manage these connections so that you know who has access.
Managing these connections is easy. Log into your Twitter account, and then paste this URL into your browser: http://twitter.com/account/connections. You’ll see a new page with the services that have access to your account.
To de-activate access from a particular Twitter service, just click on “Revoke Access”.
