Right now, most people use Tent to share short 256 character long status posts with friends. Many independent developers are building other apps that use the Tent protocol.

The author should disclose if his start-up potentially competes with Twitter.

I agree, but I don't think it matters too much. He has reported it responsibly. Now, if he had come out with a "zero-day" report, then his competing status would be highly germane.

It was probably because of this competing (experimenting with feature sets, etc) that he found the issue in the first place.
