I've always had too much on my plate to be twittering, but this sounds like some useful innovation on part of Twitter team. I may just have to twit-up just to experience what they're doing. Unfortunately, article says that the developer-(?beta)-trial offers got snatched up. What seems regrettable in this process is the lack of a real universal standard (with Facebook Connect / OpenID / Twitter OAuth ). And can Microsoft and Apple be far behind? On the other hand: I still hold back from any uber-security process because of the multiplication of the impact of any vulnerability that developed. In particular: (not to disparage the team than developed OAuth) how far do I want to trust a corporation that would recommend "users to give up (to web services, etc.) their Twitter usernames and passwords in order to read and write to Twitter user data." Go phish!
