what font does twitter use? its not listed

I bet its custom. The font (typeface) detection util at http://www.whatthefont.com might be useful, or their forums.

I tried that earlier today. Their t's in particular are pretty crazy, and not from any common font, I don't think. Could easily be a custom job based on something like VAG rounded for the vowels, though.

I've always wondered about this. I think many automatically assume (falsely) that most "popular" companies buy or make custom fonts for their logos. I'm happy to realize that this isn't the case.

Any idea what the font of the Django logo is? (http://www.djangoproject.com/)

This just came up on Django-users... it's DTL Prokyon (http://www.dutchtypelibrary.nl/Prokyon_rdrct.html)

Whatever it is, it probably was done by http://www.wilsonminer.com , send him an email
