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.

Even if they do, the culture of the existing community is set. Phishing will be a problem. I should have bought Tvvitter.com
