Hi,

We just updated the Tipjoy API to let 3rd parties use Twitter OAuth
for authorization. To our knowledge, this is the first twitter app
mashup based on OAuth.

Read more about it:

And try it out!

We did it by asking for a pre-signed Authentication header to the
verify_credentials Twitter REST API endpoint. We ping that endpoint,
and if it works, the call is authenticated.

Again, try it out and let me know what you think. If you haven't
heard, we're holding an API contest too :-D
