[twitter-dev] What Is The Status of Twitter OAuth?
Last information I've seen said that Twitter OAuth is in public beta, if I remember correctly. Has that status changed, as in, has OAuth been moved out of beta and into production? The reason I ask is I notice on help.twitter.com that all Twitter users are now essentially being advised to distrust applications that use Basic Auth. The page also says, We recommend that all third-party applications connect through OAuth connection, as described above. [1] How can you say that if OAuth is not yet in stable production mode??

Because there have been several sites that used Twitter user's login for nefarious purposes, and Twitter wants to start getting people out of the habit of blindly trusting any site that asks for their twitter information.

He's not referring to OAuth the specification. He is referring to Twitter's implementation of it.
