While you'll find most applications on handsets communicate with api.twitter.com, search.twitter.com, and twitter.com directly -- there are likely a handful of applications that communicate with a proxy server of some kind as an intermediary between the device and Twitter.
If they're talking directly to Twitter though, they'll be doing so through HTTP. @episod <http://twitter.com/episod> - Taylor Singletary On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 12:35 PM, sunderjs <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm working on implementing mobile data plans for social networking > sites including Twitter.
