Recently there have been several Denial of Service attacks against Twitter.com and many developers believe that there are changes coming that will substantially change the way you decide to do business with twitter this in turn will effect the way that many of the twitter related services interact with twitter.

Due to the level of spam and abuse a change is necessary and is most likely coming soon.

Every where you look these days, there are advertisements concerning, twitter services getting followers and buying, selling just about everything you can imagine including but not limited to everything under the sun and the moon too.

While it is not illegal or even wrong to advertise, there comes a point in time where decisions have to be made that effect the over all functionality of a service, it is entirely possible that in the very near future twitter may be forced to move to this more restrictive but safer technology that will in the long run cut down on the spam that have been such a problem over the last few months.

The really big question that remains to be answered is are you ready for this change?

More importantly what form will this change take and will it work for the hundreds of developers that have are are producing scripts for twitter right now.  Many people believe that this change will in part be concerning the process of how authentication takes place now.

Oauth, a nicely secure method of authentication?

Oauth is a fairly well used method of user authentication and its use which will one day be one of the few accepted methods of user authentication, but even with that limited amount of information do your know what Oauth really is?

To get closer to something us technically challenged individuals can understand, Oauth allows a user to authorize an application such as followtwitter.net to access your twitter account without actually revealing your user name and password to followtwitter.net, thus it allows you to retain your information while allowing the website to work on your behalf, think of it like this, when you use paypal to make a purchase the place where you made that purchase never actually saw your credit card or debit card information or number, that is one of the reasons why paypal is popular, it allows consumers to buy and sell in a reasonably secure environment.

This is one of the ways that user data is more safe than using standard authentication which is no where near as safe as using the Oauth authentication protocol.

One of the remaining issue is how many applications will be effected should Oauth become the only authentication method supported by twitter as well there are issues concerning security of applications that do not currently use Oauth as the only method of user authentication.

You may have purchased software in the past, If Oauth is the only method allowed will your software still work?

The chances are that the answer to that question is no, it will not continue to work and the possibility of getting your application fixed cheaply is not good.

There are literally hundreds of applications and scripts have been sold, that do not use Oauth these applications are part of the reason that twitter is experiencing so many troubles with attacks and denial of service attacks.

If you would like to see how Oauth work and how it can work for your own application take a look at our website http://www.followtwitter.net the success of your website scrips may one day depend on adopting Oauth.
