Tumblr ‘truly disappointed’ by Twitter’s decision to block friend-finding on the blogging service

Tumblr has reached out with a statement that places the blame squarely on Twitter for cutting off access to the feature, going so far as to point out that while Twitter isn’t playing ball, Facebook and Google are happy to continue supporting friend-finding on the service:

“To our dismay, Twitter has restricted our users’ ability to “Find Twitter Friends” on Tumblr. Given our history of embracing their platform, this is especially upsetting. Our syndication feature is responsible for hundreds of millions of tweets, and we eagerly enabled Twitter Cards across 70 million blogs and 30 billion posts as one of Twitter’s first partners. While we’re delighted by the response to our integrations with Facebook and Gmail, we are truly disappointed by Twitter’s decision.” “
