Here is why: This application is VERY much against the Terms of Service. A few months back a few developers made an application that allowed you to listen to Shoutcast stations. A few weeks after the addon popularity grew they got a legal notice from Blizzard. The TOS states "You agree that you will not use any third-party software that intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through World of Warcraft" Blizzard claimed pulling in music was intercepting information and promptly began banning users for using the add on after a week or two of warnings. Use this at your own risk. As much as I love Twitter and WoW it isn't worth getting banned over. P.S Claiming its open source and can't be stopped in a terrible argument. Blizzard can stop it and most likely will. I don't agree with the policy but its the policy. *Frustration* I play WoW and WON’T BE using this addon.
