I'm not sure I understand the question.

Twitter requires users to authenticate to Twitter via Twitter's
website. Many OAuth service providers work this way.

HTC Friend Stream requires users to authenticate to a service provider
(e.g. Facebook, Twitter or Flickr). I'm not sure whether the service
provider receives the user's credentials from the user's browser, or
from the consumer (which has stored credentials entered by the user).
OAuth version 1 would enable the service provider to get credentials
from the user's browser, and avoid storing credentials in the
consumer.

A service provider can authenticate consumers using
http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/spec/ext/consumer_request/1.0/drafts/2/spec.html
This protocol doesn't involve users.  Users don't interact with the
service provider's website, and the service provider doesn't receive
any information about users.
