So all of us have known the BIG problem with Twitter's OAuth authentication mechanism. I do not need to go in and talk about the problems with it's (Twitter) authentication as the above links would give you a good enough picture and for those who have been locked out of their Twitter because of OAuth problems, you know the problems better than I do (I don't use Twitter btw).

Imagine OAuth's hueniverse account posted about Twitter's problems... what a SHAME to Twitter. 

Twitter, please set things right. Listen to users and STOP being STUBBORN or sooner or later, people would SHUN you.

Services like Twitter builds themselves around users.When users finally realize that it's Twitter who is not paying enough attention to them and have failed to satisfy them, it would be Twitter's bane.

What should users do if they can't reach Twitter via their mobile devices... stop tweeting. Since Twitter decides not to listen to their consumers and users, why should anyone consume Twitter ? Yes... direct boycott.

It's sad that Twitter is just too stubborn.

Well, that's all for today.

(P.S. I have not been blogging lately because I am busy building a Java application. It's secret and I would not tell you would it is. It is meant to be a surprise for all of you. :D )
