I don't speak for Twitter but from what I've heard so far... Basic auth will continue to work for about 6 months so you'll have plenty of time to change your apps to work with OAuth. I would hope that OAuth tokens will last forever as they do with Flickr for example. If not then it's going to be annoying for both users and developers. Nobody has ever suggested they'll be time limited. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/
