I am a little bit confused how spammers publish spam tweets in twitter.
For example when I see the spam tweet I wont retweet it since I read the content before retweeting and so the spam tweets should not distribute so fast but I have heard some of them becomes famous very soon!!
is it because other people retweet spams before reading it? Please help me to understand the process . I appreciate any help
Spam tweeting is often done with an automated out of the box program such as
Automated Tweet: http://www.automatedtweet.com/
Hoot Suite: https://hootsuite.com/
and a variety of other tools available in the marketplace.
It should be noted that Twitter does not condone spam tweeting and the above information is for reference purposes only. Twitter is constantly working to weed out spammers and overuse of tools like these can get accounts banned.

Twitter uses the Microsoft Translator API to power the translations on their site, however any issues or questions regarding the user interface should be addressed to Twitter directly.
We are developing a carpool app, and are posting all search requests by customers and all registration requests by customers on twitter. There may be a time when the tweets will increase significantly. Do we need to do anything to ensure that we are not breaking any rules ? The tweet looks like this
The tweet looks someone like this
#carEgiri ride from Viman Nagar, to Hindjewadi,. Install carEgiri Android app, and help reduce #pune_traffic? Thanks #mCruiseOn
#carEgiri and #mCruiseOn are our # tags. #pune_traffic is not.
I'd suggest checking the rules and policies for Twitter applications (https://dev.twitter.com/terms/api-terms) and if you're unsure, file a ticket for the Platform Operations team at https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform
Is it possible to get replies (tweets) for a given tweet in twitter? I am searching for a API in twitter but couldn't find the same. Can some one help me on this?
Thanks

That is an experimental API.
By experimental API, this means that until we officially document it on dev.twitter.com, it's not necessarily production-ready and could be unstable both in the parameters it takes and the format of its responses. It also may just disappear one day.
As for related_results itself, it won't necessarily return every reply for a tweet nor are its responses necessarily limited to just replies. That said, for your own personal use or experimentation you may find some utility in the method. If you choose to use it in any software you're developing, I would proactively wrap its use with significant exception handling.
How do I make yahoo unblock the images that come with the emails coming from our server?
For HTML email, which is a wild beast at the best of times, you should be using some kind of starting template before embarking on any sort of customization. There are a number of examples out there that are excellent reference but Campaign Monitor has made a serious effort to promote best practices.

It may be helpful to use an email previewing service like Litmus to verify your messages are being transmitted as intended:

Is it all yahoo users or just some? Many users turn off images in email for privacy reasons (to prevent companies from using image requests as a confirmation that someone got an email.)
I'm using Twitter's OAuth for my app (DroidIn)
To my dismay I can't find any way to track who and how often is using the app. Searching Twitter for "sent from DroidIn" does not yield any results. I suppose I can call some sort of counter app from my code but that doesn't seem to be fair to my users. Any ideas or suggestions?
It seems that yet again I have to answer my own question. After some investigation and feedback from question posted on Google Twitter developer group it seems that for now there are no stats easily accessible or available. Said that I found 2 interesting things:
You can search Twitter using source:yourapp switch. For example you can try this query
android source:API
There is very exciting streaming API from Twitter. I have a short write-up in my dev blog.
But if you want some actual stats there's no other choice today but implement it as part of your app. There's one more possibility if you have some sort of web-based interface you may want to use Google Analytics to trigger some Google javascript while submitting the update. I'm trying that right now and may end up with article in the blog
