What I have done, gladly in some cases, is setup dozens of twitter clients. Mac clients, windows clients, mobile clients, and even adobe "air" clients have all been graced with my password. I have handed the keys to my social kingdom to them in order to keep from opening a new tab in my web browser to tweet about the freshness of my coffee. So my question is... What is the chance that these clients will support OAuth once Twitter releases it to the public and what will motivate them to do so? (Other than factoryjoe leaving a horses head in their collective beds.) I am proudly a “card carrying member of the Paranoiac party” and haven’t given my twitter password out to any other web sites.
