It is going to be interesting if they try to go after twit - as far as I
know this is a trademark which belongs to leo laporte and the trademark
department only has so many classes available.
not exactly knowing the US system but I do assume 'that computery or

Make no mistake, the trademark is the reason for them to examine how you use

The scariest part about all of this, frankly, is less the trademark
stuff, and more the fact that he is being punished for violating
Twitter's terms and services. As near as I can tell, his app just

Exactly. Common sense helps. Avoid Twitter|Twit and/or violating

I'm sure we will see a blog post soon from twitter. Yeah its very unlikely
that any twitter API
dev will comment on this since they can't speak on behalf of twitter's legal
plans. They probably
don't even know what legal plans are in place.

This is all rather scary, especially for those of us dedicating
significant resources to Twitter-related development.
I was having a new logo designed... it was going to be in light blue.
I guess I will have to reconsider that option now!
Duane,
I do not think it is necessary to get personal here.
I took "Twr is suing me" as an expression of panic, nothing more.

I'm afraid I'm not willing to accept Dean's characterization of events
since he's been lying from the get go (e.g. claiming "Twitter's suing
me" when nothing of the kind was happening). I give no credibility to
those who practice deception in order to win people to their cause.

Just be creative .
Here are some domain ideas:
1- SendR , SndeR,
2-MessgMe, Msg.Me,
3-Tmesg.in tmsg.in
4-sportstlk, sportsmesg.in
5-SendIt4.me DoIt4.Me
6-TxtButler, TsmgButlr
7-ThreadedMsg
8-ConTEXTual

Gpro.ws
Unless something drastic changes in their approach, I think we as a
developer community should all rise and give them a standing ovation
for a brilliant performance in pissing people off.
Well, I am now so sh*t scared to use the words twr and tw**t
anywhere, I'm just going to write them as twr and tw**t from now
on.
Can you have *'s in your domain name?

PS. Why and/or how can something be enforced that has not been granted
yet? Or, am I missing something here.
Well this goes to show you Biz Stone is no longer running the show at
Twitter. Seems the investors / board have taken control and are unleashing
the pack of lawyers. I hate to see twitter using such "evil" tactics. Sure
you guys coined the term "twitter" but the user base came up with "tweet". I
