Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible (and how) to authenticate users
in an application using OAuth and get them already logged in on
Twitter. That happens when logging to stocktwits.com: after logging to
stocktwits using OAuth, user is already logged on Twitter. How do they
do it? Thanks in advance.

That's managed by Twitter's cookies. If the user is already logged in, Twitter can recognise it during the OAuth approval process.

I don't think so. If user wasn't logged in, he gets logged anyway. And
I am having trouble to find another app who does the same thing.
