Seven months and still not even a comment from TwitPic? Is anybody at the wheel over there?

Jordan Running started following the idea "Implement OAuth." in TwitPic.

A comment on the question "When will TwitPic implement OAuth?" in TwitPic:

OAuth and OpenID are different things entirely. With OAuth you would still authenticate yourself using your regular Twitter username and password. The difference is that currently you must give your username and password to TwitPic.com, who are free to do with it as they please, but with OAuth you would authenticate at Twitter.com, never giving TwitPic your password, and could revoke TwitPic's access to your account at any time (without changing your password). – Jordan Running, on July 02, 2009 16:32

I like TwitPic, but since its developers refuse to even comment on this issue (after two months!) I'd like to recommend img.ly to everybody. It has essentially all the features of TwitPic, but uses OAuth so you don't need to divulge your Twitter password. The only thing img.ly lacks is the support in popular Twitter clients that TwitPic enjoys, but I think its developers are in contact with the makers of several clients, and for the meantime it does have upload-by-email, which makes uploading from mobile devices easy. I've been using img.ly for a few weeks, and it seems very stable and the developers are really proactive in listening to users and making improvements. Oh, and the URL is five characters shorter. ;)

P.S. I'm not affiliated with img.ly in any way, I just think it's a great alternative to TwitPic.

Jordan Running started following the idea "integrate img.ly as an alternative image service" in atebits.

I just wanted to point out that Twitter has now opened OAuth to all developers, so there's no (technical) barrier to TwitPic switching over to OAuth. OAuth apps can be registered here:

According to Twitter's OAuth FAQ the company plans to eventually turn off basic authentication, so I hope TwitPic starts the transition soon.

Jordan Running asked a question in TwitPic on February 23, 2009 15:51:

When will TwitPic implement OAuth?

Is TwitPic part of the OAuth private beta program Twitter has been running? I'm sick of typing my Twitter password into TwitPic, and I'm sure I'm not alone. If TwitPic is testing OAuth as other Twitter services (e.g. excla.im) are, I'd love to help test it.

Ivb: I'm in the same boat as you. The Brightkite folks have mentioned elsewhere that they're working hard on a "generic" mobile version. Frankly, I'm not sure using a web interface will be faster or easier, for most tasks, than sending an SMS or email on my phone (XV6800/HTC Titan), but nevertheless I eagerly await the mobile-but-not-iPhone version of the web site.

For what it's worth, though, the Skyfire browser--currently in beta, but I got an invite pretty quickly--works great with both the main Brightkite site and the iPhone site:

A comment on the idea "Need simple way to enter location online" in Brightkite:

Jorah: Enter a location in the Places box at the top (change the drop-down to Businesses if you want to search for a business) and click on Go. Then on the subsequent page click on the "Check in here" button on the right to check in at that place.

Personally I think the Check In Here button should be larger and more central. – Jordan Running, on May 07, 2008 16:05

Log into Brightkite and go to Account Settings > Mobile and scroll down a bit. You'll see your personal *****@bkite.com address there.

This should probably be added to the FAQ.
