Hello,
there's a problem to change the name... Twitter doesn't allow new twitter
clients because they think there are too many twitter clients now. Well, I
needed and argument to get the twitter authorization. I argued there was no
twitter client for blind users like qwitter in OSX... Well, Twitter gave me the
authorization with Blindtweet identifier
Regards
