Funny thing about trademarking a name and trying to utilize that trademark
against a URL, can't be done.  If so, MicroSoft would have nailed people
left and right for infringement upon IE (can we say IE7.com and IE8.com) as
well as several other websites that utilize trademarked MS product names
LOL.  Several other companies have tried this as well and failed.

As for Twitter TOS and developer rights.  Nope, can't sue for voilation of a
TOS on a public API either.  You can suspend "suspect activities" and revoke
developer/company rights but you can't actually file suite on a TOS
violation of this type.  Lots of statuatory presidence on the subject.

On point 3, 80% rule along with the fact that you have clearly labeled in
valid font size the non-affiliation with Twitter again negates this point in
most cases.

Actually, about the only thing they could get you for would be
Slander/Liable if you were spreading bad publicity about the company that
was un-true.  In that case, they could get you for everything your worth
LOL.  Then again, being a public entity they would fall under the same laws
as the movie stars and other public figures and would basically have to suck
it up in the end.
