[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth without read or write access
yes it would, I think people are more worried about the ability to write than read. You could just put up a message saying this is only being used for sign in and we will not read your stream.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: OAuth without read or write access
Thanks for the confirmation. I guess I'll have to rely on informing the user as you suggest. It looks like a gap in the API to me, there must be plenty of websites out there that might want to confirm a user's identity with their twitter account, without wanting access to their tweets. Tom.
