Suddenly I noticed the latest version of Power Twitter is using Google's AppEngine to get the title of the page to display in Twitter.
How you tell which apps are using this is the "appid" field and Power Twitter is identified as "mapthislink" for unknown reasons.
This is where the big mess starts mapping yet more stupid UAs to more stupid apps.
Power Twitter add-on's developer is 83 Degrees (83degrees.com; getsatisfaction.com/83degrees). Have yet to see AppEngine version but multiple hits over four-plus months have always been:
