The Twitter API is in use in more places than just Twitter. By  
permitting the BaseURL to be changed from http(s)://twitter.com to any  
base URL (e.g. http://jon.sprig.gs/api), you allow many more sites to  
be accessible to interfacing than just twitter.com

The primary service I've seen supporting the twitter API is StatusNet  
(at http://status.net) with it's reference implementation at  
http://identi.ca.

Web hosts such as Dreamhost and SourceForge have one-click installers  
of SN and thus may be deployed in situations where it may be  
favourable to have horde directly interface with a SN instance
