If you have a trademark on a name, you MUST protect it. Failure to protect it, results in loss of the mark. The quote below, clearly states that Twitter is not going to protect this mark. That being the case, they will lose the mark, making the filing and costs associated with it a complete waste. yeah me no atty neither. lol. wonder what they put for 'mark first used in commerce' - maybe in the future? ;-) -- \./'\./ /'\ \ ]. /'\./'\ /'\ /'\./

Did you try Internet Explorer?

Logins work in Safari, but posting statuses only does occasionally, I've tried to update a profile picture earlier, selected my image, hit save... waited... nothing... came back and hour later and the page was still trying to load. Logouts won't work in safari either. Safari can’t open the page “https://twitter.com/logout” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again. - I've been trying since thursday. paging works... sometimes search works... sometimes My oauth app was working fine until I wanted to logout and change users... now I can't reauthorize/relogin @$%$ those morons who thought it was a good idea to attack that one random dude in Georgia cause this whole mess. -- \./'\./ /'\ \ ]. /'\./'\ /'\ /'\./

I think it's ok to go for it, what does everyone else think?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter API is unresponsive, can we crawl the twitter.com website?
hmmm, maybe. i honestly wasn't trying to suggest a 'bad idea' was actually good, but i was just reading through recent messages, trying to make some sense out of it all, and realized that I first heard of twitter pretty early on a radio broadcast. that was mostly an advertisement. twitter was still a baby. I was an early adopter. I created my account right away just to see how great it was. anyhow, it just occurred to me the question of why we are talking about this on this old-fashion google thing and not twitter... and i think the answer is this: it's a numbers game. and it has always been. and of course this makes no sense whatsoever, it's not suppose to. that's exactly what that kind of response means. just a thought.

[twitter-dev] Re: Filter Profanity
hmmm you wanna dump random content your robot found on the internet on kids and hope your stuff doesn't scare the crap out of grandma? it would probably be just as interesting and profitable to block human visitors and instead use random roboreader bots. then it would be totally-fully-automated. $Id: roboreader.html,v 1.24 2008/01/06 12:31:07 whistlek Exp whistlek $ This robot will read a web page at a specified URL, registering one unique visitor to your web site. command line options: --- r follow links and read entire site recursively --- w X wait X seconds pretending to read the page before following any links --- x randomize wait to make it seem more like it's a real human --- z X send output to alternative directory X (instead of /dev/null, the default. useful if you are already sending your mail to /dev/null and don't want to cross the streams) --- G randomly click on moomle ads. @twitshawnna: Holy Jesus Christ, you should have seen the amazing creampie my husband gave me last night. @twatmarie: oh yeah, i bet he thanks the lord every night that you got that new job as a fluffer.
