OAuth is working here!
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 by Dave Winer.
A. I made an authenticated call to Twitter and it responded with the correct answer instead of "Invalid OAuth Request." 
A. Joseph Smarr patiently worked through the process with me, first making sure it worked with Plaxo and then coaching me on getting it working with Twitter.
Q. Is there anything you'd like to say to Joseph at this time?
A. Yes! Thank you thank you thank you. Thanks! 
Q. Is there anything you'd like to say about OAuth?
A. OAuth isn't so hard once you got it working, but there are too many docs, too heavy on theory, and there is no validator. Everything Joseph did could have been done in software. I offered to help get the process systematized by remembering what it was like to be a newbie, which I still am, totally.
