The original intent of TwitWall is to provide a ‘space’ for Twitter users who likes tweeting, but do not (ie have a or want to) blog. Unlike blogging which are composed formal writings (essays), tweeting are random thoughts. Often however, random thoughts exceed 140 chars, or may not even be just text.

If you are a blogger, occasionally you may have thoughts that may not generally fit the general theme of your blog content. To that, you may want to post those thoughts on your TwitWall as an alternative to your formal blog.

If you already have a Twitter account (userid), all you need to do is log-on to TwitWall using your Twitter userid and password. That's it- you're ready to start posting your 'wall' entries.

However, if you do not have a Twitter account yet, just sign-up at Twitter https://twitter.com/signup first, then log-on to TwitWall.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TWITWALL USES AND PROCESSES YOUR DATA

TwitWall does not store the user's password in its database or in any area of its server. When a user enters their Twitter credentials (username and password), TwitWall uses Twitter's own API tools (verify_credentials method*) to verify its authenticity. Once Twitter confirms that the user's data is authentic, the user is logged on to TwitWall.

• TwitWall does not store the user's password in its database (hard disk storage) of its server.
• TwitWall does not collect any email information during the login process.
• TwitWall does not retrieve the email information during the login process.
• Twitter does not provide any user email information to TwitWall in any part of the login process.
• Twitter does not provide any user email information in any area of its API toolset that can be retrieved by TwitWall.
• If the user chose the "Remember Me" option during the login process, an encrypted code (stored in a "cookie") is added on the user's own computer harware/hard disk. This data is not saved/stored in TwitWall's server.
