> "A few weeks ago Twitter contacted our legal demanding that we abandon our trademark" Guess it's time to abandon Twitter.

  Alternatives?

    Well... there is app.net - But honestly I don't think that anyone beyond a certain german podcast-bubble really uses this.

      German podcast bubble? I'm from Germany and I don't know what you are talking about. I asked App.net about alternative paying methods because in Germany it's not very common to use your credit card. Nothing.

  Twitter has basically lost all my loyalty because of actions against the developers that made them who they are. Whatever the reasons may be, or even if Twitter is "on the right side of the law" I would rather see them embrace this entrepreneurship than go the route of the bigger tech companies and squash any bit of choice. Typically people use third party add-ons because they enhance the experience. What would twitter be like if they banned all the third party services that convert longer messages and post a shortened version on twitter? I can imagine a similar scenario if, for example, reddit decided all of a sudden to threaten the creator of "reddit enhancement suite" or if they decided to shutdown Imgur, which I think that symbiotic relationship was already mentioned here. Time to look for alternatives.
