The PR value of a few nice words :-)

Nice little footnote to the story, got this email from Jillian at
Twitter which has made me feel all warm and fuzzy:
Hey Stuart,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention and for reaching out. Our
Platform team should be communicating our goals (in relation to C&Ds,
and why they're sent) to the Developer community soon, but I just
wanted to thank you for making those changes to your site and let you
know that our intentions were never to be pushy. Things sometimes get
lost in translation, and while we wanted to make sure your site was
understood as a third party app and not a subset of Twitter, we do
understand that your application is great and thank you for your
support.
Kindest Regards
Jillian (I deal with our TM protection here)

I can't fault Twitter for their behavior in this matter.

How are some of you failing to see the difference between "Powered
by
Twitter" being something they want you to do and "http://
TwitterApplication.com" is something they don't want you to do?
Why don't they want the latter? Because someone with the email of
"adultsexdatin...@googlemail.com" registered the domain. Not exactly
the type of company that Twitter wants to associate itself with.
Yet,
for applications and sites that DO comply with the ToS, they want an
attribution and link back to their site. Aren't some of you self
proclaimed SEO/Marketing experts? Everyone wants links back to their
site, including Twitter.
Making a logo downloadable doesn't mean either that they want you to
use it, or their font on your website when doing your own branding.
Some people here are confused
