Re: [twitter-dev] Displaying Friends Tweets Requires a log in each time

2010-09-10 Thread Taylor Singletary
Hi,

It depends on how you're accessing and displaying the tweets... are you
trying to show your home timeline (the tweets you typically see on
twitter.com's home page while logged in), or are you trying to show your own
tweets, or are you trying to show someone else's tweets?

Showing your own home timeline requires authentication, as there must be a
perspective of who's home timeline is being viewed. Further, it's not
appropriate to post your own home timeline where others can see it, as you
may be following protected accounts and putting those user's privacy at
risk.

Fetching an unprotected user's timeline (their tweets, your tweets) does not
require authentication.

How are you currently integrating the streams into your site? A server-side
fetch, a client-side fetch? A widget?

 Hi there-  With the outdated Basic Authentication method, I was able
 to display my freinds tweets on my web page without a problem.  Now
 with oAuth, unless already logged in, I have to click the login button
 with Twitter each time to display that content.  Multiple that for
 each person that visits my web page.  Headach City!

 Is there something I am missing?  Can the login be done once and
 always display said content when someone visits my site?  Thanks, any
 help is appreciated!
