I think I'm missing a tweet of context. I get that they quoted their own url, like in the top article, but then the account replies "Ugh, busted :(" to someone who has their tweets protected.

As I recall, the trick is that you can post a tweet, grab the URL, then if you edit it quickly enough it won't show up as edited.

But you can't edit tweets. Any apps that offer "editing" either just impose delays, or easy ways to delete-and-tweet-again in one step, no?
