But I'm not -- I swear! :) I'm just trying to create a business on-top of Twitter, which is what they have been encouraging since day 1. And they're ripping my business away without any notification or recourse. I wish they'd create premium accounts where I could pay $X/year to have a secure hold on my usernames. I still have yet to get any official response from Twitter. I think the consensus from the comments on my blog post was that I'm a scumbag username squatter haha. But I'm not — I swear!

You should not give your Twitter credentials to third-party sites. Or if you do, at least change your password when you're done trying out the new cool Twitter-related stuff. Exactly.
