I don't want to spam all my twitter followers with a link to your website just so you can confirm that a twitter account belongs to me. Isn't there a better way

I don't want to spam all my twitter followers with a link to your website just so you can confirm that a twitter account belongs to me. Isn't there a better way of performing the confirmation?

You can put the link in your twitter profile instead, or delete the tweet after. I'll make that clearer

  Cool. Putting it in the web field in my Twitter profile temporarily, worked.

I think it is possible to auth through the api too.

  yeah but then I'd have to ask for the user's twitter password, which I don't want to do.

    Twitter uses OAuth so no need for the users password. http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_faq http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_faq
