Just a heads up. I don't think this is officially supported by any means, but if you pass source=web in your REST call, the source will return to the old web. i.e. $ curl -u username:password -d status=This is a test. http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml This is a test. 2 minutes ago from API

I trust that Twitter will close down that loophole pretty quickly, so that we have an equal playing field for all apps, especially those who choose not to exploit the loophole. On Jul 3, 4:17 am, Harrison peppe...@gmail.com wrote: Just a heads up. I don't think this is officially supported by

No doubt it will be closed. But from now on twitter should approve more applications. Cause many applications are using this from web and converted to from API. Soon they will apply for approval. -- A K M Mokaddim http://talk.cmyweb.net http://twitter.com/shiplu Stop Top Posting !! বাংলিশ লেখার

Abraham, Is this optional? Meaning, can one register an OAuth application and still not have a custom from on the tweets originating from that application? On Jul 3, 11:44 am, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: There is no approval process anymore. To have a custom from all

That's probably true, but I don't believe in trying to game Twitter. It's a very stupid strategy in the long run. If you want a Twitter application that fits into the Twitter ecosystem and will be around for a long time, the best strategy is to be a good and upstanding neighbor of Twitter. On

For me it is more a matter of user education. When you read the user comments on my blog, you will see there are a few who said they will stop using TweetLater if the tweets are labeled with from TweetLater. There are one of two reasons for that: a) they are concerned about what their followers

Some clients don't even show the source... Tweetie for example.. There are a billion 3rd party applications out there, so I think if it says from API it won't betray their use of TweetLater. It just means that they're using not web ...so who cares? On a related note, I doubt if Twitter will
