Twitter App struggling with Oauth? We want to acquire you.

Hi Everyone,

Remember, for months we’ve been yelling “Oauth is coming, Oauth is coming” like some crazy people with tin foil hats claiming the end of the world

But now, it’s proving to be true! Twitter is laying the proverbial “smack” down on all tools that go OAUTH (which they are required to do before the 1st of June) which don’t follow Twitter’s Terms of Service.

For example
Future Tweets recently posted this on their homepage:

So it begins.  Remember, Marketmetweet is 100% twitter compliant AND OAUTH secure.

To review, What does OAUTH mean?

OAuth is an authentication protocol that allows users to approve application to act on their behalf without sharing their password. More information can be found at oauth.net or in the excellent Beginner’s Guide to OAuth from Hueniverse.

Do you have a twitter app that is struggling to get onto OAUTH or is going out of business because of the new rules?

Talk to us. We may want to acquire you.
