Shizzow was lucky enough to sneak into the private beta for Twitter oAuth, and we’ve held back on releasing Twitter oAuth integration for all Shizzow users until Twitter gave the green light. Yesterday, Twitter announced that it has changed its oAuth status from closed beta to public beta. Today, we’re offering Twitter oAuth access for any public Shizzow user. Yay!
To active oAuth access, login and visit the External Preferences page. Only shouts with messages will be transmitted to Twitter, and your tweets will resemble this format, “ZOMG! I love this cappuccino!! - at Stumptown Coffee Roasters http://shz.me/a1b2″
We are still ironing out a few kinks with oAuth activation, which currently only works in the Firefox browser. Once activated, you may use Shizzow in any browser. If you run into any problems, please let us know.
Update 1: Twitter fixed a bug on its end so that activation will now work in Internet Explorer.
Update 2: We fixed the bug that prevented Twitter oAuth activation via Safari. Activation should now work fine in any browser.
