We are using twitterVB API for managing our tweets from our web application, so far everything was running smoothly until today it started throwing the below error.

LinkClicked Error:Exception of type ‘TwitterAPIException’ was thrown.

try get the source code and change http: to https:. There may be breaking changes coming but that worked for us

this is because internally twitter pushes a redirect to https which invalidates the hash as the hash was calculated on http
