are you using automated software to generate direct messages through that Twitter account, on behalf of your subscribers?

That is not the same as having your application shut down. A shut-down app means you cannot access the API at all, i.e., all your API calls are denied with connection refused. Can you still access the API from your app and publish tweets on other Twitter accounts? If it's only your Twitter account that has been suspended, then that was done because you must have violated the Twitter Rules on that particular account, and will probably have nothing to do with API access from your app. Dewald On Aug 20, 9:11 am, AccountingSoftwareGuy virga.rob...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, We just built and released an application to allow users to schedule tweets.

Since we can't seem to get any response from Twitter, we did some searching on our end and we think that one of our users abused our app and was sending out tweets considered as spam by Twitter. Here are my questions... 1) How the heck do you get your account unsuspended, we've contested the suspension via the help desk form but it does not appear anyone at Twitter looks at these or responds to them in any timely fashion. 2) Doesn't it seem reasonable that if you have a whitelisted application you should at least be given the benefit of the doubt and be given some kind of warning to correct the problem or abuse infraction before Twitter just pulls the plug on your app? How is a legitimate company supposed to operate if Twitter just goes around dropping apps at their will with no communication or warning (Even Google isn't this draconian). There is also obviously some favortisim at Twitter going on with certain vendors because I cannot believe sites such as Tweetlater, TweetDeck or other major twitter apps who have hundreds of thousands of users do not have a few users from time to time that abuse Twitter's Spamming policy and I'm pretty certain that Twitter doesn't just go and suspend their accounts without any warning whatsoever, I'm pretty sure if they have a major abuser they get some kind of warning or heads up. Why isn't Twitter being consistent in their approach to all vendors, how are other vendors suppose to achieve the same type of success if thier apps get shut down out of the blue and ruin their reputation with their existing customers?

The version of the website they were objecting to didn't have a similar font but did use the same birds as the old version of the site (fair enough to be asked to remove them). The timing coincided with a redesign of the site anyway which went live this week. I emailed them back pointing this out and then ended up on the phone with them with the claim being that the site as it stands now could still be seen as potentially confusing. I want to know how different they expect a site to be (especially when it doesn't even include the full word twitter in the name. Compare this to Twitpic, Twitvid etc who are using the same contraction AND the same typeface. This feels so much like a legal department doing stuff that is completely contrary to the Twitter team who have been so supportive of the third party community. Of course, all these applications have been granted access to be listed in the posted from field in the tweets, been granted special access to the API via whitelisting which requires the application to be named and described and, in many cases, been registered with OAuth, again requiring the name and description of the app. Has anyone else received similar letters where they have no problem with the service but can't seem to tell the difference between two sites if blue is present in each? :( Letter copied below. --- TWITTER - Trade Mark and Website Presentation Issues We act for Twitter, Inc. in relation to intellectual property issues in the UK. Twitter has asked us to contact you about your ww.twitlonger.comwebsite (the..Website..).Twitter has no objection to the service which you are offering on the Website. However, Twitter does need you to make certain changes to the Website. We have set out the reasons below. Your Website Twitter owns a number of registrations for its TWITTER trade mark, including Community trade mark registration number 6392997. Your use of a name for the Website which is based on the TWITTER trade mark is inherently likely to confuse users of the ww.twitter.com website into thinking that the Website is owned or operated by Twitter, when this is not the case. You are using a font on your Website which is very similar to that used by Twitter for its TWITTER logo. You have no doubt chosen to use this font for this very reason. You are also using a blue background and representations of blue birds. These blue birds are identical to those which Twitter has previously used on the www.twitter.com website. The combination of these factors and the name of your Website inevitably increase the likelihood of confusion. We therefore ask you to confirm that you will, within seven days of giving the confirmation: 1. incorporate a prominent non-affiliation disclaimer on all pages of the Website; 2. permanently stop any use on the Website of a font which is identical or similar to the font used by Twitter for its TWITTER logo; and 3. permanently stop any use on the Website of (i) representations of blue birds which are identical or similar to the blue bird design previously or currently used by Twitter on the www.twitter.com website; and (ii) a blue background. -- Dale Merritt Fol.la MeDia, LLC

The trademark app for Tweet could be disputed. There is a window of time in the trademark office proceedings that you can do this. I think its 60 days after the mark has been approved for publication, prior to the official registration is approved. Any app w/ Tweet in their name might band together to see if more can be accomplished and spend less money on attoneys. I'm sure Twitter is probably wrestling with this issue too, seeing that they have basically came out and said they wouldn't go after anyone using it in a correct way.
