I don't know if there's an official announcement or documentation on it but I realized yesterday, while making Tweaky, that Twitter for Mac supports the same protocol handlers as Twitter for iPhone. The only thing you have to change is the

Today I had to use a private API while spiking a feature for an iPhone app I'm working on and I ran into a couple of gotchas along the way. There doesn't seem to be a simple step-by-step guide for using private iPhone APIs in XCode, so here's goes:
