[twitter-dev] Single sign-on - One oauth for a mash-up
Scenario - TwitterAppA has an oAuth - TwitterAppA has as part of its functions an embed from TwitterAppB which also uses Twitter oauth The goal is for users to be able to oauth with TwitterAppA and then be recognized automatically as the same user by the embed of TwitterAppB. Without this the user gets quite confused as they don't understand why they have to login multiple times on one site. Allowing for that functionality would allow all the TwitterApps to begin working in concert to meet user needs which makes the whole community far more effective. I realize though that it does open the door for some security problems. However, it seems that Twitter could maintain a graph of which apps were embedding which other apps in order to allow a trusted relationship model.

Re: [twitter-dev] Using the locations filter in the Streaming API
Locations is still a bit of an early feature, even though we shipped it several months ago. It works great, but we haven't polished out the details, as the rate of geo-tagged tweets is still fairly low and the adventurous have figured it out despite the under-documentation. I updated the wiki to address most of these questions. The default access level gives you 10 1-degree location boxes. There are various higher levels, but we haven't really set a policy on access yet. We'll get there. I suspect that you are under-specifying the predicate somehow. Try again with curl -v and see if any explanatory text is coming back. Any additional feedback is appreciated. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.
