Setup OAuth, ClickPass, Google Friendconnect, OpenID, or some other registration method.

I run a Twitter tool that started out using Direct Messages, but found that CTR in DM's are horrible. I had to switch to public status updates with @username.

We use OAuth to link Twitter accounts. Our OAuth implementation was done before Twitter added "login with Twitter".

OpenID isn't yet widely adopted (not enough for us to really support it --- chicken and egg anyone?).

I do like the simplicity of 'login with Twitter' but haven't seen any evidence yet that our sign up page has many bounces.

We have 96% of users that link at least one Twitter account to their PubliciTweet account. Which was quite a surprise to us.
