[twitter-dev] Can you use OAuth and direct_messages/new?

[asylumet]

Is it possible to use OAuth and direct_messages/new to post new
messages to a twitter account or am I just wasting my time. I have
been able to do it just fine with CURL but this is not desired as it
would require my app to store my users username(s) and password(s) in
plain text and that is not acceptable. I would rather abandon the idea
of using twitter than sacrifice my users security.
