Twitter Security Issue
How about this for a twitter security issue: users are accustomed to giving their passwords to many third party twitter-API apps.

Yeah they need to implement OAuth or something similar.

From what I understand is that OAuth was created when twitter developers identified this as a problem. The trouble is they were too busy fighting to keep twitter alive to roll it out on their own api.
