Dear Twitter API peeps,
The API doccos for Twitter REST API Method: trends
available (https://twitterapi.pbworks.com/Twitter%20REST%20API
%20Method:%20trends%20available) say that no authentication is
required, but I think it is:
$ curl http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/available.json
Currently the only way (I think) to register an application to use the
OAuth API is via the web form at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new
which requires the user to use login/password on the main site. To
automate this (e.g. move it into a command-line application like the
twitter rubygem)
