AT&T has announced the launch of a brand new enterprise-focused API program that allows enterprise customers and solution providers to use AT&T network APIs to create innovative new applications.

Twitter’s REST and Streaming APIs will expand to reflect major Twitter add-ons: a long-anticipated group messaging feature, and 30 second video uploads.
