Wouldn't it be better to share this directly with the service provider instead of exposing users' data like this? Also kinder?

You would need to know the exact millisecond of the timestamp and usernames to access it. Our plans are to allow sharing of video/voice messages publicly if the user chooses. Feedback welcome...

I'm interested in the Twitter permissions required.

* Read Tweets from your timeline. * See who you follow, and follow new people. * Update your profile. * Post Tweets for you.

Does Twelephone only require posting tweets and following new people for completing positive actions by the user or is this like FB apps that spam your feed? Could those permissions be added as needed; I'm assuming that you don't need to follow new users or tweet anything for me to direct connect a Twelephone session with a current friend??

It seems incongruous you tout privacy features as a bonus (http://twelephone.com/#learnmore) but that to use the service Twelephone gets access to everything one does on twitter.

Perhaps these are just standard permissions that twitter hands out with user authorisation?

I believe that these are standard Twitter permissions. Twelephone only needs tweet permissions. We're not using any other Twitter APIs (other than OAuth).

Phono seems to support any browser, why does this only support Chrome and Firefox?
[+] cmatthieu|12 years ago|reply
Only Chrome and FireFox support WebRTC video. We are working on adding Phono voice support for Safari, IE, and Opera using Phono's Flash and Java Applet capabilities.

how exactly WebRTC going to solve raised questions regarding privacy ? in light of a fact that, for ICE to operate, you need STUN server and exchange ICE candidates (and SRTP keys) through WebRTC server
