Subject: The description of the source parameter should be changed
The description of the source parameter currently says: source The value used in the "source" parameter of API method calls. It is currently only used in the "update" method in the REST API. It defaults to "twitterpm". This results in the text "from Net::Twitter" rather than "from web" for status messages posted from "Net::Twitter" when displayed via the Twitter web interface. The value for this parameter is provided by Twitter when a Twitter application is registered. See <http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ#HowdoIget%E2%80%9CfromMyApp %E2%8 0%9DappendedtoupdatessentfrommyAPIapplication>. Since twitter has stopped registering source keywords in favor of OAuth, the source parameter is not usable in new applications (unless you have registered your key before).
I've updated the description in the source code and the change will be included in the next release (likely later today). Thank you for pointing it out. -Marc
