Ooh, if this is the case then it will definitely stop me from using oAuth
for Feathers (http://feathersapp.com) since diacritics are an essential part
of Unicode art.
Very interested in hearing what you find out.

Hey guys,
Just a quick heads up to let you know that I took the work of a bunch of
awesome developers, pruned out the unnecessary browser-based oAuth stuff,
tweaked a bit, and made a quick sample app to demonstrate it all and
simplify the implementation of xAuth in iPhone apps.
You can read all a
click to add an account to your application and
worse case it adds an extra 2 clicks.

I like that annotations will be open so that the various schema can
live/die organically based on client adoption (or lack thereof) rather
than an artificially-emposed constraint.
I outlined some of my ideas for annotations (or "Twitterformats", as I
called them) at the end of last year at
A question on this and how it relates to User Streams. Unless I'm
mistaken (only took a cursory look/played around with User Streams),
User Streams uses Basic Auth. So if my app uses both the User Streams
API and the REST API, I have to both use xAuth for the REST calls and
store the username/passw
ision to not use
oAuth for it. I'm sure you'll agree when you see it that it is an app that
will cause quite a bit of interest and the source parameter will not only
benefit me but users who want to find the app that the tweets were authored
in.
Thank you for your time and I hope I'll hear from you soon.
All the best,
Aral

This is awesome news. Kudos to your pragmatic approach with xAuth and
looking forward to your recursive delegation plans. Blogged it here:

I hope the UX community supports Twitter in this.

I had the same response :(
Someone told me that the way to approach it may be to file a trademark
dispute. This is what I'm going to be forced to do since it doesn't appear
possible to talk to a human being at Twitter about this issue.

Basically, Michael, the process appears to be:
If you don't have a US-registered trademark for your app, you're out of
luck, no exceptions.
If you do, you file a trademark complaint.
(If I'm wrong on the above, please feel free to correct me.)

What's the official stance towards oAuth and desktop apps: will all
apps, *including desktop apps* be required to implement oAuth?
I'm asking 'cos of the old usability chestnut.

Hey Alex,
Another thing I was thinking about was specifically for AIR-based apps

consumer secret.
If that's included in the desktop app, especially in a SWF for AIR
apps, it's basically open to the world. So another app could

however possible.
The UX for setting up multiple accounts on a desktop app where there's
a jarring context change from desktop to browser for each (inc.
possibly logging out/in to different accounts on Twitter) just scares
me.
