Perhaps a better approach to the lockout:
Lock the account for x minutes after 15 *unique* bad passwords. So if
the user changes their password, and another program keeps trying with
their old password, that only counts as 1 attempt.
It still only gives them 15 guesses, but would cause fewer loc

OAuth isn't perfect yet. However, it is better from one stand point:
If I sign up for a website or program with my twitter password, and it
does bad things, I have to change my password in EVERY twitter program
I use. With OAuth, I can just block your app.

It will improve the security of your account since it won't be sending
username/password in plaintext anymore.
It's not that much more complicated to do. In fact, if you are just
doing it for one account, you can run the sample code for oauth, write
down the access token and secret, and just har

I think the limit is only on the API. I suppose there are/were
conditions where duplicates would get posted, and this prevents that
from happening.
Easiest thing to do: Have your program put a timestamp in the
message, so instead of "You have a new update", put "11:57:01 You have
a new update"

It's a cool little program.
With the rate limiting - the requests should come from the viewer's IP
address, so rate limiting shouldn't be a problem. At worst,
individual users viewing it 20,000 or whatever time an hour would see
an error, everyone else would be fine.

I'm almost ready to release a desktop app using OAuth. It's written
in Perl, so anyone can read the source.
Should I remove my consumer token and secret and make people get their
own? Or is it safe to distribute?
I thought it might be by design, but couldn't find that mentioned
anywhere. I guess it is necessary to prevent apps guessing the pin,
though it may be annoying for users.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with my code, the libraries I'm
using (perl Net::Twitter::Role::OAuth) or something else entirely.
My program gets a request token, shows the user the website URL, and
waits for the pin.
If they enter the pin correctly, all it well, I get an access token.
