Interesting. Do you have any advice on how I can try this again without getting suspended?

If you are creating a Twitter app, and letting users login via Twitter and then using those user tokens to make API calls, that’s a good first step, I am not sure if you are doing this already.

Other than that, I would just make sure you position your service as something that benefits Twitter, describe it as something that allows you to create better tweets or engage with your followers better. The internet is filled with apps that sell Twitter data like Mention.com, SocialRank, and Social Animal.

Thank you this is really useful info. I am indeed doing as you say, and I think you're right it's the positioning that has got the app in trouble.
