Entrepreneur Bill Gross, who oversees UberMedia and the Idealab that it sprouted from, the he was happy to say the apps were back online and urged users to "spread the word." 

UberMedia changed the name of its UberTwitter app to UberSocial as part of its agreement with Twitter to clean up its popular mobile clients.

Twitter says it suspends "hundreds of applications" that violate its privacy and other API policies, but it was the microblogging site's suspension of the popular UberTwitter, UberCurrent and twidroyd apps that sparked a big social media to-do on Friday. Twitter told CNNMoney on Friday that UberMedia's violations involved a privacy issue regarding Direct Messages that were too long, plus trademark infringement and changing content of users' Tweets to make money.

The term "#ubertwitter" jumped to the front of the Twitter trending topics line ahead of "Queen Gaga" and the Radiohead-related "Thomas Yorke" and "Lotus Flower" as word spread of the popular mobile Twitter client's temporary shutdown. UberTwitter users flooded Twitter with pleas -- often colorfully worded -- to sort things out.

UberTwitter initially was designed for RIM BlackBerry smartphones but also is available for Apple iPhones, whereas twidroyd is for Android devices.
