I'm working on an application that will require the use of a
considerable number of Twitter accounts- around 5700.
Is there an easy and legitimate way of opening this number of accounts
rather than having to manually do so?
Are Twitter helping developers do things like this? Is it allowed?
d? Outside of a public forum, we're happy to disclose further
details.

According to the documentation,

Your best best, IMHO, is to follow the sample code on this wiki to
request the API payload via CURL and then dump the response into the
MagpieRSS parser.
It's just easier that way, I find - as authentication via CURL is
known to work out of the box. This will also make your code more

Whoa - couldn't disagree more. I think the implicit (or explicit, in

desktop clients or web apps with client-like functionality. They're

What should I look out for with regards timestamps? I'm following the
advice
from the OAuth spec, in that they have to be in seconds, and equal or
greater than the last used. Do they have to sync with Twitter's clock

correctly. Now both ways are fine.
