    One question: I’ve seen Flash apps/widgets where users can log into twitter by just entering their username and password. Is this using OAuth and just hiding the back and forth interactions, or is this done with another method? Tinker has a widget that does this, for example, and it is a very smooth login process.

    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Actually what you are referring to, is Basic Authentication, while tweetr supports this, it’s not the preferred way of doing user authentication anymore (less secure) since twitter is planning on disabling it in the near future.

    Does Tweetr work for web based applications too? If so, do you have any tips handy to omit entering the pin-code manually?
