[Jonathan Wilkes]

Hi Alec,Have you shown that link to the Twitter devs you know?  If so, what steps did they take in response to make Twitter more amenable to Tor?

That is certainly one approach; I would suggest a different one:

I’ve met and know many folk from Twitter, and I like them all.

Twitter is going through change at the moment, and I feel that as a company they will be more responsive to encouragement than a harangue.
