For most the only difference you need to know between these two is that v1.1 requires authentication before you can access any goodies.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s this authentication that means any script, plugin or website that makes use of version 1 of the API will need to change, and change quickly, to the newer API. If this isn\u2019t done then best case is you won\u2019t see any new tweets on your website. Worst case is it could break your whole website if it\u2019s heavily dependent on Twitter.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">For questions about the Weekly Comms News contact <a href=\"mailto:Sabina.Rosander@cision.com\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Sabina Rosander<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday has come quickly this week so it&#8217;s time for another weekly round up of comms news curated via @CisionUK.
