I was going to write up something like this (as I have actually done this fuctionality already myself  for the CalderMobile application and I have mentioned “Hammock” before.. But I found this already out on the web today and it’s a great article on how to authenticate by OATH and it’s from a guy’s blog that I have been meaning to check out, so for all of you please check this out.. It’s a great start..

More Guidance

If you need further Guidance Microsoft MVP, Mark Arteaga has a great article that originally started the OATH/Twitter on WP7  that gets to the crux of how to do OATH and Tweet. at this article.. Mark’s Blog has other cool reads too.. Note: this last code was written with an earlier preview, so be forewarned..

While Mark’s code is written for a previous CTP, the released code is more immediately usable.   You just have to make adjustments to the changes based on the changes to the beta and soon the RTM..
