We must be about the only developers in the universe that requested
users grant only read access when we first got people to connect
http://trunk.ly to Twitter (I think of the 40 or so apps authorized on
my account, Trunk.ly is the only one that asks for Read only).  Never
ask for more access than you need is my philosophy.

Doh!

Of course now, we want to add some Tweet out functions which require
users grant us Write access.

A couple of questions for the Twitter people.

1. If we change the access in the application from read to read/write
does this reset the API key, or will it stay the same (hoping it stays
the same).
2. How can I work out if existing users have authorised us for read/
write?  I looked at 
http://developer.twitter.com/doc/get/account/verify_credentials
but it doesn't show me what access they have.  Do I have to write,
fail, force them to step through OAuth then post? Or is there a way of
knowing before hand it will fail and asking them to upgrade?

Thanks,

Tim
