How can I change the "sent via" link on tweets?

Question

I was wondering if you could change the text and link of the "sent via" information on each tweet? The default value is "sent via web" and then if you use 3rd party application is could say "sent via TweetDeck", etc. But I know that this can be set and changed but I don't know how?

Thanks!

The "sent via" value can not be changed on a per-tweet basis.

Twitter applications that use the API are required to register with Twitter. The registration contains the application name. Anything posted to Twitter from that application will use that name. This value can not be overridden. If the owner of the application changes the application name, then you would see new values in the "via" field.

This can not be changed by the end user, and you can not set it in the code of your application.
