Hello Community,

I've written a jetpack addon for Twitter. The Addons sends status
updates to Twitter.
Is it possible that it posts "from Addon-Name" instead of "from API"?

Greetings,
Vaan

The two options are to:
(1) Convince Drew to update the Twitter Library or,
(2) To submit a patch to the Twitter library :)

Option (1) is my favorit x)
Or is there already a patch?

Option two means doing the work for yourself essentially. While option one is convincing Drew to do it.

:D Ok 'cause I don't know what to do to patch the library and what I
should do so twitter will get the right name, I hope Drew is going to
update the library for us - not just for me ;)

(or he tells me, what to do to patch the library)

Hi,

IMHO it will not be an easy patch since twitter now requires to
register your application AND to use OAuth authentication in order to
show "from [MyApp]".

See http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ#HowdoIget%E2%80%9CfromMyApp%E2%80%9DappendedtoupdatessentfrommyAPIapplication
