But applications built to integrate with Twitter over our API can also be considered devices. Sure you can send and receive Twitter updates over your phone but you can also do that with Facebook. That makes Facebook a Twitter device. (It does other stuff too.)In fact, there's lots of different devices for Twitter. I just took a glance at the Twitter Fan Wiki apps page and counted well over 200 "devices" you can use to interact with Twitter...http://blog.twitter.com/2008/01/twitter-devices-abound.html Hulu Gears up for Launch- January 25, 2008 With hundreds of thousands of users in its private beta and three times the amount of content it had at launch, Hulu is readying itself to open to the public in the next two months.
