hahahaha! That's a nice try, but I won't be original!

I disagreed with Benz's premise that Twitter itself is undesirable because of what Club 140 is doing. A tool can be used for admittedly silly purposes, or it can be used to distribute important information (Nate Ritter's experience with the San Diego fires comes to mind).
P.S. Your French is better than mine.

I don't think the script is picking up all 140 character Tweets addressed to @davewiner. I tried twice, no joy. Any filtering going on, Dave?

You mean "If you tweet..."?? :p haha Leo Laporte won't be too happy if you keep saying "I'll post a twit"! hehe
Good idea... I'll post some useless Twoosh(tm) some time later on! :)

Of course, if I start beginning messages with '@davewiner ', that only leaves 129 characters to write with. ;)

Jet lagged or not, @davewiner has not yet responded to my announcement of major data privacy breaches for "protected" twitter accounts on his http://club140.org/ project.
The people whom you follow who have "protected" twitter accounts have a small red padlock displayed at the end of their posts in your logged in homepage on twitter, the title text of this image is "(Users Name)’s updates are protected! Please don’t share."
Dave Winer's http://club140.org/ project displays the information of these "protected" accounts, thus making them public and archived.
The project also has a flaw when someone writes a message which is sent to @davewiner or if they follow @davewiner and just write a message which is exactly 140 characters long, it gets archived on the http://club140.org/ project, but if you then realize for whatever reason, that you maybe decide your words will be misinterpreted, or you change your mind about something you wrote, it remains archived to the project even after you delete it on twitter. I think the http://club140.org/ project archives every 10 minutes (25, 35, 45, 55...) so if your message is posted on twitter just before it gets archived to the project, then you delete it from twitter just after it gets archived it remains public on the project.
This breach is a major issue, imagine you said something controversial, or private which was unknowingly publicly republished on the project and then later seen on the project website by a current or potential employer, perhaps by them googling your name or known username!? You could loose your job or miss-out on a potential job!
While I think this http://club140.org/ project is somewhat interesting, even though I advocate for more character space on twitter, I think there is also some concern that people aren't opting in to this project, they are being forced. This is a major concern for privacy!

Is there a way, through the Twitter API, to determine if a message is protected?
As far as messages being archived, they aren't.

Excellent idea, Dave. It's a lot of fun and can bring those who wish some decent traffic. I Sphunn and commented about it right here and will probably do a short write-up about it on my controversy blog.
