Popularity rate
Though it's here since Summer 2008, it has yet to gain enough user base to get into any of the top twitter services lists - 0.5 twits
Vulnerability: Persistent Cross-Site in TwitWall entry view page.
Status: Patched.
Details: TwitWall allows HTML to be embedded in the wall entries. According to the vendor this was done because "our users with non-malicious intentions enjoy using our html editor". Unfortunately, the entry view page does not santize scripts and events that came along with the HTML.
This vulnerability could have allowed an attacker to send tweets, follow/unfollow others on behalf of its victims.
