I wouldn't mind providing an error callback url which Twitter posts error messages to. Asking users to report a message back to the application owner is only great in theory.

Merely mentioning OAuth would be plenty sufficient. * Encourage the user to go back to where they came from (there were, after all, trying to do something) On Jul 27, 6:05 pm, goodtest <goodtest...@gmail.com> wrote: > sounds good, its way better than "Whoa There" :) > > On Jul 27, 5:51 pm, Andrew Badera <and...@badera.us> wrote: > > > On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 8:38 PM, goodtest <goodtest...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > I totally agree.
