Like Jon Udell, I support the whole idea of OAuth. It's just a bad idea to store your Twitter password on third party applications. But also like Jon Udell, when Twitter ended basic name/password authentication to its API, some of my stuff broke - like the Twitters from this newsletter. So now instead of supporting OAuth in orinciple, I'll have to support it in code. But it won't be so easy. As Udell writes here, "The OAuth protocol is a choreographed dance that involves cryptographic signing, redirection, and callbacks... So complicated, in fact, that if I'd had my idea today instead of six months ago I probably wouldn't have bothered to jump through all the hoops."
