Hello Thanks for the note. I was using the Simple Authentication on my application to send tweets. I just noticed that twitter no longer support it. I guess I have to switch to Twitter oAuth API. I was wondering because it looks like to send tweet, each user of my application should get a CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET (oauth_token and oauth_token_secret). I wonder where they will get it from ? Should each of them have to register my application in their twitter Account to get it ?
Thanks for your help, Yannick P.
