 Basic Authentication
 ====================
 
+Twitter has disabled basic authentication on August 16th 2010 - use OAuth 
+authentication instead.

 Basic authentication uses the user's Twitter username and password for
 authenticating with the API. You must query the user for these two
 pieces of information before we can authenticate.
