Bill Gross on the alleged violations: Trademark infringement: "UberTwitter will change its name to UberSocial." Privacy issues: "The privacy issues are related to handling Tweets longer than 140 characters." This information, combined with "privacy issue with private Direct Messages longer than 140 characters" (from Twitter) makes me think that DMs and protected Tweets greater than 140 characters were passed to a site like TwitLonger, which makes the full text accessible by a URL. That site then showed the message to anybody who had the URL without any account authentication. Monetization: Twitter believed UberMedia used affiliate links, which Gross disputes. http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/18/ubermedia-bill-gross-twitter-surprise/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/18/ubermedia-bill-gross-twitte...
