If you follow Twitter related news, you may have read this article on “API name squating”.

As you probably know, Tweetboard has been honored with being a finalist at the Launchpad contest at the Twitter Conference in LA next week.

Well, we were going to hold this announcement until the conference, however, since we’ve been advised that this is becoming a common practice among Cyber/Name Squatters, I’ll give you a solid hint right now on what’s coming!

And here it goes: I strongly suggest that, if you use Tweetboard, or plan to do so in the near future, you register your own Twitter application YESTERDAY. Furthermore, I suggest that you register 2 apps: one named as your website (MySite.com) and one named as your Brand (i.e TacoBell).

Register your Twitter Application now

Why? Well, I’ll let that part to your imagination, OR better yet, just don’t think about it, go ahead and register your application right now! On Sept. 22 (next Tuesday) you will know why!

    hi www
  • I haven't been able to get the Twitter app to work with tweetboard correctly.
  • Check that you set the callback URL correctly when you created the twitter application, if this is wrong you wont be able to login.
  • Got the procedure for invitations now, I guess.
  • Angelo
    What should be the callback URL?
  • Yep, the same question.
  • Once you are logged in as the board owner you will see a new setting button in the top right, all the details of what you should set the setting on your app to are in there.
  • I already have my own Twitter App... It was required for a Wordpress/Twitter plugin... can I use that same one for TB?
  • I think it may cause some problems to use the same one for both because the callback URL would be different, as a user you can register multiple App's though may be worth snagging another one.

  • Ok :)

    There was going to be an announcement today regarding the need of app registered and TB? I saw the announcement about the upcoming TB Client, but not sure if that something to do with our need for a custom twitter app.
  • BTW... if you need testers, let me know....
  • I secured a few names :)
    Thanks for the heads up
    is there any way to search for who's registered what names?
  • I don't think there is at the moment.

    Hopefully twitter will add additional features to their apps at some point.
