Hi Paul,
I have developed a social search engine ExploreWWW and would like to
encourgae twitter user to submit their website to ExploreWWW and it will be
unploaded in twitter with their account. I have been using twitter account
to do that.
Now I am not sure how to consolidate user authentication
Or, do both.
Allow them to login via OAuth, and then let them create an account
later to avoid future round-trips (or to associate multiple twitter
accounts)
This is what http://feedflix.com does with the Netflix OAuth API.

Say I'm twitpic, does OAuth mean a user is going to have to make that
awkward round trip to sign up?
And does recurring login mean apps are going to have to store
credentials?
I'm just curious.

Hi,
With oauth you have to make the round trip but I think it works quite
well.
What I don't think is going to work well is we will all need to
develop an account managment system with new passwords etc and also
prompt existing user to now assign a password to their account (which

On a similar note (also brought up in a different thread I think) are
the so-called bot accounts that many of us run for whatever reason.
Now they will have to use OAuth to post instead of basic auth through
things like curl. So, as the OP of that thread suggested, we'll have

I tend to agree, however lots of services are really only about working with
Twitter, for instance I don't really want to make twollo work on any other
service other than twitter. When you are linking to lots of other sites
your points are perfectly valid :)

Sure, once per OAuth token lifetime. If Twitter implements OAuth
correctly, it's supposed to work like this:

I don't follow what you wrote about Twitter ID being obsolete. Where does
it say that? If it is obsolete, Twitter needs to get rid of the users'
ability to change their user names.
It is the .Net Client that says that, I presuming it is a bug in that. That
is why I have not used the ID but

I think most things other than a basic username and password will confuse
most people, which is why asking for their twitter username and password is
done (rightly or wrongly) because people know it, use it all the time on
