source/via in Twitterland

Partway down this you will see:

 
 

How do I get "via [MyApp]" appended to updates sent from my API application?

The source attribution of a Tweet is set by the name of the application used to create it. If you register an application we will use it's name and URL as the source for any Tweet it creates. Application names must be unique so if the application name you wish to use is taken, please choose another.

 
 

...I had a good idea yesterday, or so I thought. I thought of writing an app that allowed one to tweet while using the source field for the next few characters beyond the 140 character limit. It looks like there are safeguards to keep someone from doing what I schemed to do however. :P
