Here in the lands where history comes from, the ‘ou’ is AFAIK a French influence. And while I generally veer towards US spelling, I’ll go so far as to say that ‘ou’ is the correct pronounciation more than a simple ‘o’ is.

But then I’m Danish, so what do I know?

I can’t get behind using a U in color, favorite, etc. I don’t understand how it is supposed to be “correct” to spell it that way. It changes the way I say those words.

I know they are using OAuth but I didn’t realize that Twitter had exposed those features through the API (as Drew Robinson has pointed out).

Oauth, man. Oauth.

Hi Colin,

A user’s profile colour (I’m Australian so I spell it correctly, with a “u” ;-P) settings are exposed through the Twitter API (see http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-account%C2%A0update_profile_colors), so I guess that’s what they’re using.

Cheers,
Drew

I hope by “excuse the U” you mean “I hope the rest of the world excuses our spelling laziness”! haha

Really impressive looking app, though. If I wasn’t in love with my bare bones theme, I’d definitely use this.
