[twitter-dev] Re: Which services use twitter username and password as account identifier
Hi Paul, I have developed a social search engine ExploreWWW and would like to encourgae twitter user to submit their website to ExploreWWW and it will be unploaded in twitter with their account. I have been using twitter account to do that. Now I am not sure how to consolidate user authentication on our server and twitter server with the implementation of oAuth. I am really happy that you have come forward to raise this issue. I will also like to gain access to your solution for oAuth implementation.

I would like to start a list of the services that primariraly use twitter details as a form of login to their services. Starting with: Twe2 (although we do support oauth right now) Twollo What I am keen to also get accross is that if we have to introduce a new username and password mechanism for our services I bet that 80% of users will still use the same password as their twitter account, negating the use of oauth. If anyone wants I can provide you with a secret link for twe2's oauth implementation to show you what we are doing (no username and password - but re-requesting access to your data if you need to login). I look forward to hearing back and seeing a list of all the services in the ecosystem that use twitter credentials as account authentication and validation so that it is clear the how prevelant the problem will be.

[twitter-dev] Re: Question about authority to view social graphs
Hi Kevin, The permission difference is a known issue (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=268 ) that we plan to correct. I suggest putting a star on that issue so you get email updates when there are changes. Thanks; — Matt Sanford On Mar 1, 2009, at 05:09 AM, Kevin Makice wrote: There are currently two ways you can use the API to see someone's follow network (followers and those you follow). The first is the old way: paginating through the /statuses/friends and statuses/ followers methods. These give a lot more information but do so in smaller chunks. The new way is using the social graph methods, / friends/ids and /followers/ids, that return the entire list but only user IDs. My question is, why can I use the former on protected accounts but not the latter? https://twitter.com/friends/ids/cmakice.xml https://twitter.com/followers/ids/cmakice.xml return 'Not authorized' if the account is protected (this one is) and the authenticating account hasn't been granted access. https://twitter.com/statues/friends/cmakice.xml https://twitter.com/statuses/followers/cmakice.xml I don't have any problems getting this list. Once upon a time, I could get one list but not the other, but that behavior seems to have been opened up. BTW, if no authentication is used on the request, the /followers/ids and /statuses/followers returns a Could not authenticate you. error. For public accounts, /friends/ids does not require authentication and will return the full list of IDs. For both public and private accounts, /statuses/friends will return useful information. Could someone explain the reasoning for these discrepancies?

[twitter-dev] Re: Which services use twitter username and password as account identifier
Or, do both. Allow them to login via OAuth, and then let them create an account later to avoid future round-trips (or to associate multiple twitter accounts) This is what http://feedflix.com does with the Netflix OAuth API. On Mar 1, 6:18 pm, Paul Kinlan paul.kin...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Sam, I think most things other than a basic username and password will confuse most people, which is why asking for their twitter username and password is done (rightly or wrongly) because people know it, use it all the time on twitter and don't have to remember yet another password. I will give JainRains solution a look over. Trouble is, it looks two phase, log-in via openId/facebook/etc then hook up your twitter account (using oAuth); obviously once you have set up your twitter account your only ever have to log in using the JainRain stuff. I do like using the twitter account and password (like many app developers) because its central, you can verifiy the details and let people use your service in one simple step and you don't need another external sevice to authenticate against. I just worry that using external services will limit who uses Twitter apps, and I also worry that managing the credentials myself will negate all the benefits that oAuth provides (because most people will use the same password as their twitter password). Onhttp://oauth.twe2.comyou only ever type anything when you are redirected to Twitters site, twe2 doesn't ask for anything ever. In my opinon it is the cleanest thing from a UX point of view, however, it's not (from what I have been told) how your supposed to use oAuth.
