This operation is awesome and it does a great job of showing how twitter is going to have a hard time having blessed clients. If twitter wants to rate limit API calls for apps in an effort to reduce abuse then abusers are going to impersonate the official twitter client.
- mattgreenrocks 14y agoThis is AOL Instant Messenger all over again: a closed source client with a secret (proprietary protocol) that is blessed, and vague threats of legal action against unauthorized clients. Except in this case, Twitter's probably more serious about the whole thing. Which is ridiculous, this being Twitter and all...
- icefox 14y agoAt least for me the vague threads of legal action during the aim time where not very vague, but trademark infringement for naming my application Kaim. Unlike the Gaim guys I simply switched my application name Kinkatta (Kinkatta is not Kaim anymore thanks to AOL).
- mathrawka 14y agoI never dealt with any legal issues, but one day I noticed that licq.net was registered by AOL. I had the licq.org and licq.com (sold the .com years ago though), but always thought it was funny how they did a passive-aggressive move like that.
