Hello,

I've seen programs like "Twitterific" that can change the "from" field
on Twitter.
How can I do that in a custom way from a custom client I'm working on?

I've looked at the Request Headers part here (http://
twitter.pbwiki.com/API-Docs) but this doesn't seem to do the job and
it is not documented anywhere else where this field can be changed.

I would appreciate any help.

Hey Eran,

We need to add this to the docs if it's not there already! There is not an automated way to do this currently, but if you send a mail to myself or Alex off the list, we set them up on an individual basis right now.

Hey Britt,

Thanks for the prompt response.

What information do I need to send you so you'll know its from my
code?
Should I add a "&source=yedda" parameter after the "status" parameter
in the "Update" method?

The thing is that its a C# code client that I'll be releasing as Open
Source soon and it is used to send Twitting information for Yedda
(http://yedda.com) so that people can subscribe to Yedda's Twitter
account and see what people are asking/answering about.

The code has the necessary parameters so that everyone that use it can
change that information later on and, hopefully, this part will be
more structured in the future so is someone will build a 3rd party
client on top of my code they will be able to change this parameter.
