Very very soon you will be able to interact with Twitter in just one way. Their way. #writingisonthewall

In its short history, when Twitter has made controversial announcements, it's tended to stick by them. The company never recanted on "The answer is no," and there's little reason to believe the company will backpedal on this oAuth decision, either. Whether the developers behind popular third-party Twitter apps will make the necessary changes to remain fully compatible with the service remains to be seen. And if they do make this change, there's no certainty that they'll be willing to make further updates when Twitter's third-party requirements are updated next.
