Just a heads up. I don't think this is officially supported by any
means, but if you pass source=web in your REST call, the source will
return to the old web.
i.e.

This isn't specifically related, but there really needs to be a more
mobile-optimised version of the OAuth pages. The current site isn't
very iPhone friendly and I'd hate to see how apps authenticate
themselves on lesser capable devices.
I know, I know, PIN-based authentication. Still.

But from now on twitter should approve more applications. Cause many
applications are using this from web and converted to from API.

That's probably true, but I don't believe in trying to game Twitter.
It's a very stupid strategy in the long run. If you want a Twitter
