Can we create (signup) the twitter account using APIs?
I think Ivan's suggestion could answer the concern about the case
where a user needs to enter a username/password:
"If not signed in, a new window could load with the regular OAuth
process. "
For the case where the user is already logged in, there doesn't appear
to be any risk here. Consider th
Is anyone else having issues getting the rate limit stats when using
OAuth? It seems to just be returning 100 remaining and an hour until
reset at every request.

If you have the approval process take place in the iframe there is no way to
for the user to actually verify they are interacting with twitter. if they
are not logged into twitter already you are then asking users to enter
username/password on a potentially unsafe site and opening up to fishing.

The interesting thing is, that you could omit the callback URL in your
application registration with Twitter. On your site when the user
clicks the "connect twitter" button you would go and grab a request
token and pop a new window with that request token in the URI like
usual. The user wou
I'd love to be able to do this also, and have mentioned it off the

Imagine a "Twitter Connect" button, which would be a tiny iframe
loaded from twitter.com. If signed in, the token exchange could take
place right there. If not signed in, a new window could load with the
regular OAuth proces
I'm seeing it in XML though. The bugs are for JSON format.

Your best bet is to create a local proxy script to get the xml data
from twitter, and then pass it up to your flash app. A pain, but it
works.

You don't need to set a callback url. The only information that Twitter

Yep. That must have been the problem.
