Sam Ruby says using Twitter needs to carry an obligation

(written by Lawrence Krubner, however indented passages are often quotes)

A fascinating point, made in the comments:

I’m less interested in the irony; I’m fascinated by the implications… what happens if jcgregorio is deleted? What happens if somebody else takes control of that account?

Part of what makes this work is that (nearly) everybody has a twitter account. Another part is people caring about the implications. I’m a bit concerned that the latter check/balance is lacking here… More precisely: your choice to use Twitter for authentication does not inherently inspire a feeling of obligation.
