 If your application needs to store any data you need to provide that
 as part of your application - this is what TwitPic does so why should
 you be any different?

 While I don't work for Twitter [yet ;-)] I can pretty much guarantee
 that they won't ever endorse your application in the way you seem to
 think they will.

 As for what you should do now I suggest you read the API docs very
 carefully, understand exactly where the line is between Twitter and
 your application, then start designing/coding it. You don't need to
 talk to Twitter before using the API to build an application. Once
 it's built I'm sure Doug and they guys will be happy to take a look
 and make suggestions but that's likely to be as far as their
 involvement ever gets.

 Hope that clears things up for you.

  Thanks Andrew for the link.. I am going to check it for my
  requirement..

  @Matt..

  Thats true. Here is an example which explains everything about my need
  and the application..

  Not My Type Application :
  Suppose there is an application called TwittShareUpdates which
  provides daily share updates for some company. Individual user will
  download/Add it for there use using Twitter credentials. One user's
  application information will not be shared by other user, obvious in
  this case. There is no need to store data also in this case.

  My Type Application (Just an example)
  Suppose there is an application called TwittAlbum in which you store
  photos and that will be viewed and commented by other users. You can
  also view other users photo and can put comment on it.

  Now you see, TwittAlbum is different from TwittShareUpdates as
  TwittAlbum will take space and this application should be considered
  an independent application. In fact it should be part of Twitter.
  Whereas TwittShareUpdates should be considered as independent
  application provided by third party.

  TwittAlbum will need some space and every Twitter user will know about
  this feature Album feature provided by Twitter (suppose this feature
  is not present right now). TwittShareUpdate will be added/downloaded
  individually by only those users who need it personally whereas
  TwittAlbum will be considered as integral part of Twitter. Whether you
  use it or not, it will remain there as a feature provided by Twitter
  for its users.

  So.. my application is like TwittAlbum. I want to develop it for
  mobile as well as for desktop also using Java. I had gone through that
  API link earlier also and still checking it. Thanks again for it.

  So.. any more suggestions? what to do now? regarding space and what
  are the processes to take initiative for send details to twitter
  management team regarding this so that they can evaluate it?

  sorry for long message but thought lets explain it in better way so
  that nobody will keep guessing..

  Thanks again in advance..

  Guru.

Twitter does not provide any storage for application data.

Twitter does not currently host any sort of application directory, nor  
do we have any sort of approval process. I recommend putting your  
application out on the web, letting people on this list know or on  
mobile development forums.




3. As this is a mobile application, so can u please suggest me that

That all depends on what languages you know and what phones you want  
to run on. From the twitter side I would check out the API  
documentation at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-API-Documentation,  
and maybe the list of known libraries at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Libraries

Great place to store all your data:

I'm sure you realize that you need to procure your own webspace and host for
your application, right? Twitter isn't a distribution center -- this isn't
the AppStore. (And for that matter, Apple doesn't  give storage space away
for iPhone apps, either.)
