We were recently contacted by the folks at Twitter:

We’re writing to let you know that your application, EasyTweets, breaks our Automation Rules and Best Practices (http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/76915). Specifically, it facilitates automated following of users that appear in “continuous searches,” which is not allowed. It’s best for both our users and your users if your application follows the rules, so please make the necessary changes to bring your application into compliance.

Alex B. from the EasyTweets team spoke with the folks from Web Pro News about the Twitter API while at Pubcon. He is pretty excited about the future of Twitter and the real-time web. Here is the interview.

In our earlier blog post about Pubcon 2009, we mentioned that I would be speaking at Pubcon about trends in the Twitter API.

Here are the slides from my presentation.

Hollywood’s celebrities have found Twitter to be an effective and efficient tool to engage others in their advocacies, squash unfounded rumors, promote their projects, and interact with fans. As an easy to use tool for rapid communication, Twitter is the perfect vehicle to accomplish all of these tasks.
