microblog plasmoid and oauth

[Ryan P. Bitanga]

Just to clarify what this means: the OAuth implementation at Twitter
allows several methods of authentication as detailed here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview

Some clients such as qTwitter use the out-of-band method which would
require us to add new strings for the PIN code as well as require a
browser to be launched. The best method for us to use is the xAuth
method since it allows us to retain the current UI while making all
the changes in the dataengine. However, xAuth access isn't granted by
default.

I already obtained permission from Twitter to use xAuth and have had
authentication working since last Thursday. Next up is signing
requests (for posting tweets, etc.) which I'll finish within the week.
