thanks for that :) so... and bear with me here, assuming i get that to work, i eventually get back an oauth_verifier and this is something i write down and keep forever for my app to use in the future to send tweets?
and each time i send a tweet, i need to - use the oauth_verifier to get an access token (which works once) then send the tweet?
