I have some basic questions (I am still learning this world) regarding fetching another user's timeline...
1. If basic authentication is a must to get the feed for "protected updates", then does that mean that a third party website that purports to fetch a user's timeline needs to store the user's id and password to repeatedly provide these parameters as part of basic auth while fetching the timeline? Is that what sites such as friendfeed do? Or is there a way to perform a one time login and then somehow use a user specific credential on a long term basis? 2. When twitter moves to using oauth, will there be a way for other friend networks to continuously be able to fetch a twitter user's feed after first time Oauth based authorization by using the user specific token on a long-term basis?
