I wanted to send you a quick note to bring you up to speed on the legal issues facing www.MyTwitterButler.com

As most of you know on August 11th I received a “cease and desist” letter from Twitters lawyers stating I had 14 days to hand over the domain, destroy all copies of the source code and to cease selling the MyTwitterButler application forever.

Basically they said the API was too powerful for end people to use directly and people should be using the Twitter web site if they wanted to follow people (I’m paraphrasing in my own words).

I’ve had two conference calls with Twitters lawyers and got my own legal advice and whilst I was comfortable changing the domain name (but not giving them away!!, just doing a redirection) I wasn’t going to stop using the MyTwitterButler software with the Twitter API.

Basically all of you deserve the right to interact with Twitter in a way that brings value to the Twitter community.

As such……

I\'m back baby, “bigger and badder” than before - www.MyTwitterButler.com is now www.MyPostButler.com feel free to tweet it on, lawyers suck !!

The application is now called www.MyPostButler.com and as you can see it has a new kick butt function that allows you to “Bulk Unfollow Users”

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch.
