Did you ever stop to think why Twply needed your account information when there's search.twitter.com? Now they just sold all the data.

Here's the sale: http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auction... Amazing.

Crap :/

Twitter really needs an API key. I've sworn off any 3rd-party app or site that needs a real password.
- LogEx
Beware - they are tied into http://www.tweetmanager.com as well (via http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auction... and click www.twautor.com).
- Renee Hendricks
$1200 for a site up for one day? The smell of phish is strong.
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
remember it is now 2009 ;)

Mark, thanks for the due diligence and heads-up!
- Gregg
Thanks for letting us know!

To be fair, I saw the sale notice buried in one of the threads on FriendFeed about Twiply, figured it warranted a top-level post about it.
- Mark Trapp
i saw a bunch of prominent tweeple tweet about this service earlier today, and i guess those endorsements triggered lots of others to sign-up without stopping to consider what was going on..."meme-think" at its worst.

I changed my twitter password. But the bastards have my email. Oh well.
- Jim Williams
Never touched it
- Tyler (Chacha)
And I even changed both my passwords anyway :)

I did not use it...good thing

Twitter should investigate, they can start with the Tweet stream from Twply. I'll keep my eye out for new "offers" in my gmail inbox.
- B2B Specialist
I went to the site but closed the browser when I realized it was another site that wanted my Twitter password.

I'm surprised anyone did use them after all the recent shenanigans.

I was a sucker. I am swearing off 3rd party applications until Twitter gets an API key.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Susanne BULLO - good catch on connecting Twply with TweetManager. FYI - TweetManager has a feature that lets you DM up to 1,000 people.
- Mike Doeff
Yikes, going to change my password now.
- Zach
Nope, sure didn't. Nothing in my Twitter stream is important enough for me to care. But yeah, they are shady.
- Bwana ☠
Have any journalists/bloggers actually tried contacting them to get their viewpoint?
- trextor
trextor: it's hard to contact a guy who doesn't have contact information. The only identifiable information is on the whois record for Twply.com, which may or may not actually correspond to an actual person. That being said, if you look at Twply's Twitter account or the comment it left on http://scobleizer.com, the person running Twply doesn't think it's done anything wrong, at least...

- Mark Trapp
@mark, i did verify that the whois information is real after I posted about this situation here: http://helloform.com/blog...
- Fred Oliveira
Just to clarify.. Did they sell all the data as well, or just the service?
- Winston Teo
I bought FauxAuth.net with the intention of making an OAuth middleman so you COULD cut a site off if something like this happened.
- Tom
OAuth FTW.
- Chris Messina
Mike Doeff: Thanks. For those looking for contact info, since twply appears to be connected to twautor which is an aka for tweetmanager, you can find a contact person very quickly and easily for tweetmanager - "Bill McIntosh TweetManager.com Founder http://www.billmcintosh.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/billmci..."
- Renee Hendricks
Mark - Thanks for the heads up. Was bound to happen sooner or later ?!
- Charlie Anzman
Thanks for the details Mark.
- trextor
Hehe, happy I didn't try that one :-)

It's a variant of the old joke -- If a man says something in a forest and there's no woman present, is he still wrong? :-)

Wrong again. That's the first thing they know.

Or it could be all ten things. :-)
