Hey Matt,

Hi all,

I just did a successful test for Twittermail.com.
Implementin oAuth in our application was very easy, I didn't find any
bugs so-far.

I have a few questions:

 - When is oAuth going to be live? At the moment it's still closed
beta, what's the timeline and when can we use it in production?

 - I guess the authorize page will be updated when it's live? At the
moment it's just a Allow/Deny button, but people want to know sure
it's really Twitter (For those's who're too lazy to check the url).
   I mean adding a header / footer for this page, stuff like that..

No more questions, I didn't any bugs, implementing was very easy, so
good work Twitter people! =)

Hi all,

This bug with approved accounts not seeing the "Connections" tab  
should now be fixed. It may take a little time to roll out across the  
cluster so please give it an hour or so. I mentioned in the original  
email and wanted to reiterate for those just now getting access to the  
"Connections" tab: applications all start out suspended and have to be  
activated by someone from the Twitter side. That function is currently  
performed by me so if you register and application in the middle of  
the night (US pacific time) it won't get reviewed until the next day.  
Over the weekend it really depends on how much I am working so it will  
likely be Monday before I get to it.


Thanks;

Is there a limit to the number of applications we can register for the

Do you have a guess as to how long the closed beta will last? I did
not apply to be a tester, but just in the last 24h, a project has
cropped up that would benefit from OAuth. I'm guessing 2 weeks barring
crazy talk?

Re: OAuth, the time has come.

And now for what I forgot,

During this closed beta we recommend very strongly that you not  
do general software releases using the feature.  If we find any  
security or performance problems we will need to turn off OAuth and I  
don't want to break your apps. Your app can sign up users who are not  
in the closed beta but since this is really a focus on getting  
feedback please try and limit the audience to people who you feel can  
provide some feedback.


Thanks;

Hello Everyone,

  Some of you are in the OAuth closed beta and some are not. I know  
that's frustrating but we need to start small so we aren't buried in  
feature requests and bugs all at once. Our intention is to discuss  
the OAuth progress on this main API Google group (http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk 
). If the discussion gets in the way of the normal group operation  
please speak up and we can always move it off to a new Google group  
of its own.


  With all of that in mind we just launched the closed beta switch.  
If you're one of the 150 or so people included in the closed beta  
your settings page (http://twitter.com/account/settings) now  
contains a "Connections" tab. In the sidebar is a little information  
and a link to register your very own application. When you register  
a new application it will begin as suspended. You'll have the  
technical details (the key and secret) you need to get started but  
one of the Twitter admins will have to approve the application. It  
is not our intention to leave this in place forever but during these  
early application registrations we need to monitor things. Please  
use real descriptions and meaningful names, since that' what we'll  
have to go on. Especially meaningful names.

please mark any bugs with the correct milestone. When you report

OAuth, the time has come.

2009-02-11 Thread Matt Sanford


Hello Everyone,

   Some of you are in the OAuth closed beta and some are not. I know  
that's frustrating but we need to start small so we aren't buried in  
feature requests and bugs all at once. Our intention is to discuss the  
OAuth progress on this main API Google group (http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk 
). If the discussion gets in the way of the normal group operation  
please speak up and we can always move it off to a new Google group of  
its own.


   With all of that in mind we just launched the closed beta switch.  
If you're one of the 150 or so people included in the closed beta your  
settings page (http://twitter.com/account/settings) now contains a  
"Connections" tab. In the sidebar is a little information and a link  
to register your very own application. When you register a new  
application it will begin as suspended. You'll have the technical  
details (the key and secret) you need to get started but one of the  
Twitter admins will have to approve the application. It is not our  
intention to leave this in place forever but during these early  
application registrations we need to monitor things. Please use real  
descriptions and meaningful names, since that' what we'll have to go  
on. Especially meaningful names.


   During the closed beta we're looking for feedback. The Google  
group is good for discussing general issues and experiences but the  
Google code issues are the best place for bugs and enhancements (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list 
 if you don't already know). I added a new milestone of "OAuth", so
