Hi. I made a mashup in the beginning of the year (before OAuth). You
can check it out here: http://www.tweekly.fm.

I really want to switch to OAuth (for the sake of security), but
Twitter isn't exactly making it easy. I've read through some old
threads, but couldn't precisely find what I wanted to say. Sorry, if
its been said before.

My mashup only requires the user to enter their details once. The only
time they enter it again, is to delete it. It's an automation service.
It sends data from last.fm to twitter.

Switching to OAuth is a nightmare for both me (as a coder) and the
user. I can't run both basic auth and OAuth for the same user (its the
way my mashup works). So if a user wants to switch to OAuth, they have
to delete the old basic auth details. Its unnecessary hurdles.

Its been said before. All I want is an API method to use basic auth to
get the OAuth access tokens. This way, I can easily write one script,
to convert all my users to OAuth. No hassles for me, and no hassles
for the users.
