Access tokens, or request tokens?  ISTR it was request tokens that were 
being expired more aggressively.  Access tokens currently don't expire 
unless explicitly revoked by the end user.

Hi there,

It is indeed request tokens and not access tokens.

Thanks;

Hi,

I realize a precaution taken during the recent oAuth scare was to
expire access tokens relatively quickly.

Let's say I have a service that automatically sends tweets for a user
on a scheduled basis (like when they update their blog).  The last
token I have is 48-hours old, and is expired.  How can I send this
tweet?  Is there any way for me to get a new access token when the
user is not around?

Help.

Thanks,
@pud

I belive the request tokens are expired quickly and not the access tokens.
