Alexey,

A lot of people stay logged in to Twitter or Facebook (or both), so for
those people it would become a one-click login (or two if you need to
authorise the app) which is much easier than having to register.

Another big motivation for sites to use OAuth is to make specific user
interactions easier; e.g. publishing updates to your activity stream, or
looking up the IDs of your Facebook contacts to connect you to any known
users in the site's own database.
