Wow. What's really of concern is the capricious approach Twitter
seems to have with app developers. Some apps are given a month to
make a change, some are cut off immediately, some are sent legal

Frankly, there should be no tracking code.
Sounds like Twitter dropped the ball with notifications. It appears that

I apologize for my choice of words.
Now, can we get back to discussing Twitter using OAuth as a mechanism
to heavy-handedly suspend applications as witnessed by the two recent
cases we know of, while measuring the guilt of the application against
nebulous rules that nobody knows exactly what they

Frankly, I sort of hope that Twitter DOESN'T further define their

legitimate app developers (rather than abusive users or problem apps)

blanket pronouncements
