In another sign that Tapulous is having some internal problems, Tristan O'Tierney sent a tweet tonight that he is no longer at Tapulous. No reason has yet been given nor any indication if the parting was amicable, though a blog post has been promised by Tristan.

You may remember that Tapulous also lost a co-founder Mike Lee just a few weeks ago. Does this latest loss show continued signs of problems at Tapulous or just a direction change? It has been speculated that Tapulous is looking to VCs for money, a decision that could easily change the direction of the company and it's products. A change that could disagree with some of the original employees.

Tristan is the developer of Twinkle, Tapulous' first officially released application in the App Store.
