How to Change the Name of an API Tweet Source
If you use Twitter's API to create your own application, you want the tweets your app's users send to mention that they used your app to send the tweet. Underneath your app user's tweet, "via your app" will display as the source. Twitter uses the name of your application to determine the source to display. To get Twitter to recognize your app as the source of a tweet, register your application.
