Twitter claims ownership of "Retweet" - GoFuckYourself.com

Quote:

Together with the announcement of the Retweet implementation on Twitter it seems that Twitter has started to send out Cease & Desist orders to third party developers in a try to protect its trademarks. In a weird spin of things, Mesiahlabs, developer of Retweet.com which we discussed previously, has become the victim of this because Twitter has received approval for the term tweet. Mesiab Labs? @retweet account has effectively been suspended by Twitter. Previously the company had announced that they had no plans to ?go after? companies using the term ?Tweet?

It's a FREE social application and now they are realizing the FREE on the web doesn't pay the bills.

Hope they don't go after me for my upcoming twitt project LOL ;-)

Oh , and for the record, 'tweet' has meant a filter for a joint for at least 30 years where I come from.

Saw an interview early on with the creators who expressed surprise that "tweet" caught on. Because they used it to send quick little notes, which they called "twitters" and doing so they called "twittering". So they called it Twitter. Lo and behold the public in it's predictably unpredictable way, forwarded the term "tweet" and they were screwed. With every cable news network and talk show host calling it "tweet" and smiling at the painfully cute word, there was no turning it back.
