How do I get "from [my_application]" appended to updates sent from my API application?
Please email support@twitpic.com with the name, URL, and description of your application. Your application must have a web site to which we can link in order to this up. Please allow up to 48 hours for the link to your application to go live, as this is a manual process contingent on TwitPic's deployment schedule.
