Twitter changes message

Hi @ worldwidegadget,
In the coming weeks, we will make two important changes that affect how you interact with the applications of Twitter. We are sending this notice to all users of Twitter to make sure everyone knows of these changes.

What are applications?
More than 250,000 applications built using the Twitter API. To use most applications, you must authorize the application for you to access your Twitter account, after which you can use for reading and posting tweets, discover new users and more. There are different types of applications, including desktop and TweetDeck, Seesmic, or Tweetie, websites like TweetMeme, fflick, or Topsy, or mobile applications for iPhone Twitter, Twitter Blackberry, or Foursquare.

Update 1: New rules for permit applications
On August 31, all applications were forced to use "OAuth" to access your Twitter account.

What is OAuth?
OAuth is a technology that allows applications to access your Twitter account with initial approval not directly give them your password.

The desktop and mobile applications can request your password once, but after that first application, are required to use OAuth to access your account.What does this mean for me?
Applications no longer have permission to store your password.

If you change your conraseña, applications continue to work.

There is likelihood that some applications are using now required to re-authorize the connection or can not work.

All applications that you authorize will be listed on page http://twitter.com/settings/connections.

You can revoke access to any application at any time from that list.

Update 2: URL shortening t.co
In the coming weeks, we will be expanding our service t.co link shortening, involving the URLs in tweets with a link back and simplified. The links "involved" will be displayed in a more readable form, with the domain and part of the URL, so you know where you're clicking. Clicking on a link t.co involved in, your application will go through Twitter to see if the destination site contains malware or not and then we'll send to your destination site. All this happens in an instant.
Begin to see these links in certain accounts that have opted to be part of the service and hope to open this service to all users at the end of the year. When this happens, all the links shared on Twitter.com or other applications can be wrapped with a URL t.co.

What does this mean for me?
Http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 long as a link can be "wrapped" so http://t.co/DRo0trj, to be shown in text , but can also be displayed on the web or application as amazon.com/Delivering- or address or page title.

Begin to see the links in a way that removes the mystery of the shortened links and lets you know where each link will take you.

Clicking on these links from Twitter.com or application of Twitter, Twitter registraréa each click. We hope to use this data to provide relevant content in the future.

Thanks for reading this email. More information at http://twitter.com.
