So earlier today the nice folks over at twitter figured it was a good time to change all the authentication to oauth ... they might have announced it all over the place .. but it never catched my attention
The onlything that did catch my attention was that after not having ued pidgin for about 2 weeks I didn't have access to twitter anymore.
I`m using the purple-microblog plugin and the default version of that plugin in Fedora 12 wasn't really up2date. The plugin supports OAuth as of 3.0 which was released ages ago.
The version in fedora-updates-testing however was already recent enough ..
So enabling that repo and running
yum update purple-microblog
quickly solved my proble .. till I disabled twitter in my pidgin again as there was way to much talk about some weird fruit ...
