Update to Twitter’s Interaction with Apps
Posted on | September 1, 2010 | No Comments
Twitter just sent out emails to all their users to inform them about the change in the way twitter interacts with external applications.
From now on all twitter application will use OAuth technology that will help application log in users without directly asking password. This means applications are no longer allowed to save password you just need to connect the account once.
All long links will be shortened using t.co and wrapping will be done and displayed in tweets with part of domain and title page. This will be extended to all apps.
egs A really long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as amazon.com/Delivering- or as the whole URL or page title.
