Twitter limits each user account to 20 lists. I have three accounts with different purposes but need the 60 lists across these three accounts to be displayed on one page on my website. Each list link needs to be clickable to the status updates from that list (in that same page likely using ajax). They are private lists (created for viewing only in the app) and I would like to keep them that way though I will take them public if absolutely necessary. I'm just the content manager asking this on behalf of the developer so I know little about oAuth but this is how it has been explained to me: "When you request an access token you send Twitter a current timestamp and that timestamp is used to make a signature_basestring. With that signature, you sign every request you send to Twitter. It's a bit tricky not to enter login/pass manually when Twitter asks you to do that." And then there is my concern about the security of my accounts if they are "logged into" on a public, live webpage (warranted/ unwarranted? not sure). The developer mentioned that even if we take the lists public, we would still need to use oauth/logins to retrieve status updates from the lists. What he proposed is doing the oauth/logins process behind the scenes periodically during the day (based on cron.php timer) and displaying cached messages to users of the app. My preference is to display in real-time assuming that I can get the other two accounts whitelisted. Only one of the accounts is whitelisted for 20,000 requests (per hour?). So the advice I'm seeking is a bit open-ended as to how proceed from here. Private/public lists? Display real-time vs display cached version? Security concerns? The developer is still pretty new to the API so we're hoping someone can toss us a bone here.
