It's twitter that's stupid for still not having implemented oAuth. What's keeping them from implementing it TODAY? They are putting people's passwords at risk.

- eelco 18y agoNo, _people_ are putting people's passwords at risk ;) That said, I completely agree. Especially sad since Blaine Cook was involved with creating the first Ruby implementation of the protocol, more than a year ago.
- tlrobinson 18y agoIndeed, Blaine Cook was one of the founders of the OAuth protocol, while he was working at Twitter two years ago, presumably for Twitter. So yeah, I'd like to know what happened as well.
- seldo 18y agoI dunno if you've tried using and implementing OAuth, but it is a gigantic pain in the ass. A big factor driving the bewilderingly huge number of twitter mashups is how easy it is to use their API. Not implementing OAuth was a great move.
