Thanks for getting back to me. I don't believe @anywhere is of use to me. My plugin is for updating a site's Twitter account when a new article is published (Textpattern is a CMS). The site's administrator would have knowledge of the username/password for the relevant Twitter account (that are stored by the site); however, other editors/staff using it would not necessarily have access to this information. For the majority of deployments of this plugin it is just not possible for this information to be realistically shared. I am not looking for a way for site visitors to update their individual Twitter accounts, just the site to update its related Twitter account. Does this make sense and is it still doable with the coming changes?
