Hi Diogo,
If you're intent is to provide access to multiple users for the same Twitter
account, at this time it'd be best for you to obtain an access token for the
Twitter account and your application (we offer a feature on
dev.twitter.comthat makes this very easy, you can find it in the
sidebar while viewing one
of your applications: "My Access Token") and hard code that into the
application. That way, all API actions taken in your application will be on
behalf of the single user.
Tom: Contributors as an API hasn't been fully baked yet and is still in very
limited rollout.
