Quite frankly, I'm sort of torn between both sides of the theoretical argument. I use Tweetdeck, both the Google Chrome application, as well as the Android app. Why? Because I have two Twitter accounts, and two Facebooks. I need something that lets me post at ALL FOUR PLACES in one location, without having to bother logging in and logging out multiple times. ((No I am not living four lives lol.)) That being said, the standard Twitter app for Android only supports ONE account [tied to a Google account, no doubt]. The interface is flawless, yes, but it doesn't compare to some of the more functional third party applications.
But I digress, Twitter is right when they discourage all other companies to make something else. The Android market has indeed become a giant field of Twitter lookalikes. Don't believe me?
and
What do you think? Does Twitter have the right to put their foot down at this point in time? Or should the Twitter API remain totally open source?
well i think that alot of the smaller twitter look a likes should go or make better code because i actually like Plume myself instead of the official twitter. im sure everyone has their own opinion about what twitter app is best but in the end... its what works best for you! so keep the twitter API open, just as long as 100 crappy apps dont overshadow the few "Good" ones out there!
