Twitter profile without granting write permission

Why can't I add my twitter profile without granting you access to updating my stream? I wanted to announce my twitter "persona" on foursquare so ppl know who i am, but the only way to do it is to grant you WRITE permission... Which I do not wish to do.

Either let me specify my username on twitter, plain and simple (like the good ol' days) or simply ask for *read* permission for my twitter stream. I'd be ok with that. And you could do stuff with it as well. search for "I'm at ________" and check in if you find something in my history that matches.

A comment on the idea "Para além do Facebook Connect, opção de login com OpenID" in Seegno:

Jorge,
compreendo o que atrai no Facebook, mas por exemplo, o texto que eles mostram não é particularmente claro nesse pormenor do acesso à wall.
E não me dizem que tenho controlo sobre que contactos vocês vão ter acesso.
Só quereria usar o facebook mesmo para login. Daí ter mencionado...

Já agora, o Google já tem um provider de openid que funciona com OpenID... Em vez de perseguirem sistemas proprietários de Login, o próximo passo devia ser mesmo openid. ;)

Já agora... dizem que querem ajudar a construir comunidade, e escolhem o silo mais fechado da net. :-\ Porque não usarem perfis públicos dos outros serviços todos? Leiam sobre XFN e como podem usar isso para ir buscar listas de amigos/ligações a outros sites que tenham perfis públicos.
exemplo:

Keep it up. – André Luís, on May 09, 2009 11:36

Para além do Facebook Connect, opção de login com OpenID

Boa ideia em implementarem o Facebook Connect. Mas e porque não deixarem-me autenticar apenas com contas de openid? Porque é que tenho que vos dar acesso À minha wall e lista de amigos?
Só queria fazer login, não ceder essa info toda.

openid ftw.

Why not send decks of generic cards?

Instead of making custom-made cards (which are GREAT), with all the details filled in, why not allows us to order beautiful decks where the title of the mission, code, etc. are blank so that we can fill it in using a simple pen? Only the starter of the mission would have to fill it in.

I think this would make the whole process quicker and easier. Also, as new missions pop up on the website, we could start spreading them right away... without having to wait for new decks. :)

I'd be cool if I had to pay shipping & handling, too. I'm not very good at printing stuff so I'd much rather spread missions using your beautiful cards instead of simple pieces of paper, if you know what I mean. ;)

Thank you for the quick reply, Sean. I guess it's that damn Murphy and his Law at work again. :) We understand.

Can't print my cards

When I click "print", the browser just stays there, "loading..." but never reaching anywhere. It stops after a while and remains on the same page.

Something must be wrong... Look into it.

Thanks. :)

Yeah... I have said they're mine somewhere, but individual blog posts uris are also "mine" though I'd still prefer pointing to the blog homepage instead.

Maybe I shouldn't be labeling links to other blog posts with rel="me"... or should I?

Thanks for the reply.

Why add links to Elsewhere without asking?

I'm all for you to add links you found to be mine under Elsewhere. I'm not so excited by not being able to "filter" them. As in, prompt me something like: "we've found these links, do you want to add them to your profile?".

You could save those I reject in a black list so that next time you crawl my websites, you can avoid prompting me those I already rejected.

While I'm here, great work! :) Really useful and also well built.

Ok Matt, thanks for your comment.

Looking forward to micronauta's reply.

Whoa! This is scary... someone care to elaborate? What happened??

andr3 marked one of Matt Galligan's replies in Socialthing as useful. Matt Galligan replied to the problem "Why do you want my Twitter password?". andr3 and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

andr3 replied on March 14, 2008 15:34 to the problem "Why do you want my Twitter password?" in Socialthing:

Cool. Then I can use the service without providing you my password. Don't take it personally, of course. :) Just make sure you clear that up on the screen where you ask me my username. "to be able to see direct msgs, pvt content, we'll need your password too", smthn like that.

Oh, and this could work until twitter implements OAuth. Notice the lack of "if". hahaha I'm an optimist.

Great work!

Yes! It does. I would be happy with that. :)

Why do you want my Twitter password?

Why do you need my twitter password? My connections are public and so are my updates so why the password?

(edited to tone it down... i'm not _that_ mad.)

If you want the password to be some sort of claiming, why not ask the users to direct message your user through twitter with some Hash key you guys give each user? Private and efficient. No need to ask for passwords.

Adding generic RSS feeds to our lifestream seems like a must

Why can't we add generic RSS feeds to our lifestream? (this will be valuable when we have RSS for our lifestreams) You could implement some kind of claiming system to prove the rss feeds belong to the user... so that lifestream won't turn into a regular feed reader. ;)

We could then provide an image to act as icon and the title and URL would be specified in the feed. (or could be overruled by us entering other title/url?).

I do think, however, that they should only include our own updates, not our friends'.
