You probably missed it the same way i missed it. The term Twitter uses is not what my mind assumed it would be. I googled "Custom Twitter Client Name" and "Change Twitter Client Name" and "Twitter Client Name" and nothing came up... I forget what finally brought me to this page. And the part in the Twitter docs is "How do I get “from [MyApp]” which is like documentation but not human friendly :)

After it has been approved, do we need to add source parameter to all twitter status updates? Or does twitter do it automatically?

Ricky, For updates to reflect that your application was the source, you must indicate this with each request. Include a parameter named "source" with a value equal to the key supplied to Twitter during registration so we know the update comes from your application.

If, for example, I wanted to update the client name through a command line interface, with the following bash script: curl -u username:password -d status="$*" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json >& /dev/null How/where would I enter that source name?
