Bug Description
Binary package hint: gwibber
At least for twitter accounts because according to this paragraph (extracted from twitter wiki) will be shutdown next month:
Basic Auth
Basic Authentication sends user credentials in the header of the HTTP request. This makes it easy to use, but insecure. OAuth is the Twitter preferred method of authentication moving forward - come June 2010, we'll be turning off Basic Auth from the API.
