logo_twitter_smallTwitter announced that they will stop supporting basic authentication starting June 30th. This will break my Twitter script! With the basic authentication that is currently being used you send a password to authenticate. Having multiple applications/websites talking to Twitter you almost need password management ;-)

As an alternative they want you to use the oAuth method (more info). That is bad news. I don’t know how to program or use that. There are .NET examples available. So it looks like we’ll have to stop using the WGET. Anyone? See the Twitter project page.
