Its even MORE like Twitter now. Almost pixel perfect. And you can Tweet & Retweet from it too. Yum.

Narcissist. ( I wasn’t talking to you — re: Fox Noise )

Anyway, I’ve given up arguing with you. Whether Twitter leaves you alone or sends you a takedown notice isn’t really my problem; we’ve given a good advance warning. Good luck with the cognitive dissonance.

Twitter PROVIDES me the styling. I’m not stealing anything. I made the theme to look as to Twitter as possible, on purpose! And no I’m not trying to make money off it.

Seriously folks, run to your nearest drug store, go directly to the Pharmacist and ask for a bottle of their best chill pills. Take two a day.

Whether it’s the default one, or even a custom background image, it will use that.

i think reverse engineering a clone for wordpress that looks and functions in an almost identical fashion if not exactly identical is an art of itself, and should be applauded. TweetPress great job, give yourself a pad on the back.

Why reinvent the wheel, when you can provide the user experience and layout that millions of users already love. It’s called learning from the best and using that for your users.

TweetPress gives power back to the people, instead of creating tweets and value for twitter, TweetPress makes it possible for people to tweet using their own blog and take ownership of those tweets if they choose to, instead of giving it away to twitter. Don’t you people see the opportunity here? You don’t have to use the same background, this theme makes it easy for bloggers to use their existing custom twitter backgrounds and integrate it, run their tweets on their own blog, either on a separate page or just standalone tweeting using wordpress.

Just because you have a clone doesn’t mean it’s meant to be used to pretend and be the Twitter.

Most cars on the street you see, all look the pretty much the same, they have 4 doors, 4 wheels, 4 lights, 1 steering wheel, just think about it if you took out the logos, i would guess most people would have a hard time recognizing which brand is which, what does that tell you about originality, theft. Being unoriginal is not a crime! or is it?

That’s the point. Twitter provides me with the background and sidebar styling. Without them, you would have a basic two-column design. Thank you for validating my point.

Anyway, I will take everyone’s valued input into consideration when developing the next iterations.

I think if you added some creative changes to it, nobody would complain about the similarity. Make the wrapper div a bit wider, maybe move some things a little.

@Gabriel – Even if it were to be similar to Twitter’s setup, you probably should have used a different background. As long as the code is different and even if you uses similar colors, but a different and ORIGINAL background, you might have been passed over and just dubbed a Twitter enthusiast.

This is not something that I would have a cry fit over as I left that hat on the rack years ago. However, as one web designer to another, you have some work to do to change it to not violate copyright.
