Twitter should implement OAuth or equiv for it's api. I'm fed up of handing out my password to third party twitter applications.
The irony of this is that Blaine Cook is one of the leads on OAuth, IIRC.
"OAuth began in November 2006, during which Blaine Cook was developing the Twitter OpenID implementation" [0]
Now that is most strange. Perhaps it's still in development?

It appears as I wrote this, Blaine has left twitter
That's pretty rough. Maybe someday people will just stop using services that ask you for your passwords to other services. It's ridiculous.
Why would you use twitter for personal messages? It just doesn't make any sense :/
Because you don't always know the IM name of the person you want to message.
