I just spent some time figuring out why I was getting a 401 -
Unauthorized error when trying to post tweets from an @anywhere
tweetBox. Turns out I had forgotten to check the "Read & Write" radio
button in my app settings. (And it even says "Note: @Anywhere
applications require read & write access.")

The tweetbox didn't give me any feedback - the only thing I saw was
the spinner that kept on spinning.

Apperently, if your app is Readonly, @anywhere will let you include
write-components anyhow. It would be nice if the @anywhere api would
display a message telling you that your app needs to be Read & Write,
instead of showing a non-working component. Or, at the least, show
some kind of error when you're trying to post a tweet.
