Can i get in trouble for using a domain with Twitters name in it?

[E4C1]

I have a business site that provides a service for Twitter.com

The domain includes the word Twitter

Could i get in any trouble for this?

Yes.
Try to get approval from twitter.

They hold trademarks on the word twitter and tweet.

So neither of those are safe as it relates to:

Yes and no.

If you're trying to typo squat, then definitely.

But if you're making a service that complements and gives something of value to Twitter users, I doubt you'll get in any trouble. Remember that Twitter has made its API public so that others can make twitter add ons. Some of the most popular Twitter services use either Twitter, or Tweet in their names (TweetDeck is an example)

Its always good to shoot them an email though, if just for the sake of records
