Micro-blogging is a toss up between <a href="http://twitter.com" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> (huge user base) and <a href="http://yappd.com" rel="nofollow">Yappd</a> (great feature set).

I complete forgot how Facebook specifically put in the terms of use that you are allowed to screen scrape and automate their site. My apologies. Now, on the other hand, if that wasn't specifically allowed for, then you be awful stupid not being able to figure out how this is ABUSE. Oh geeze my fault.

In Facebook's case, there's no API (for the services required) available. Facebook's popularity drives a certain amount of ambitious effort to provide only the same service there that we're providing at every other similar platform. I'm having trouble seeing where "abuse" comes into play. Ummmm, the program in question (MoodBlast) has always made a concerted effort to make proper use of APIs generously provided by web services.

I've created lots of web services and I've had to shut a lot of people out. Mostly because of API abuse. Let me guess. It sounds like you are telling one side of the story.
