I haven't known about similar services are there, thanks!
However, at least remove "twitter" word or add some descriptions that they
cannot use twitter itself (not only in README.Debian but also in its
descriptions).
Because... if I were a user and install any "twitter client" and it couldn't
connect to twitter, I'll tweet full of complains for Debian (from browsers ;-)
I'm afraid that it would be kind of negative campaign for Debian Desktop
environment.

I guess they think it can reduce hijacking twitter account or so.
