maybe call me naive, but i for one, am not convinced the oauth
experience has to suck.

as mentioned before, i'm really open to having a discussion on how to
make the oauth UX better.  many people have already, and i encourage
others to just drop me a line if you have ideas...
Given the large number of Twitter desktop clients out there, and I have yet to see one on a mass scale that uses oAuth yet, is the depreciation of Basic auth going to go off when planned?
