When twitter finally supports oauth what user autentication system will they use? With our application we will remove the need for username/password but that means users will need to still login to our service for authentication.
Of course we could use Google Friend Connect or JanRain's RPXonline to authenticate users but then we would have to map this user account to the users twitter account via oauth. But it seems a missed opportunity to me. www.twitter.com/username is a RESTful address that could be an openid endpoint. The profile could support SREG. Twitter connect could be a third party authentication service for 3rd party twitter developer apps. The two are not linked oauth on its own will be great but openid (twitter connect) and oauth would be better. What do you think?
