- orblivion 17y agoWow, that's exciting. Good for Twitter. How does Basic Auth work though? How can they prevent using it? I'm assuming that the website will still have a text login, can't they somehow highjack that? I guess Twitter just won't make it an XML interface or whatnot anymore, so it'll necessarily be a hack. So are they also saying that you can't have 3rd party desktop apps anymore without registering them with OAuth? That's a bit annoying if you ask me. I guess they'll have an API key like Flickr.
