Twitter's recent change to oauth broke my favorite twitter client twyt. It seems that it also broke twitters android client so they've left basic auth available to any client identifying with the parameter source=twitterandroid - after the applying the patch below twyt will identify as the twitter android client and will continue to work with basic authenticatoin.

_twyt provides intelligent auto completion for the twitter client Twyt. Features include specific option completion for all commands, and intelligent completion for twitter names and twyt users.

To install pop the file _twyt somewhere in your fpath and restart zsh (assuming you've set up completion).

The latest version of _twyt can autocomplete tweet message IDs too, but it requires a patch to Twyt.
