Using OAuth to publish to my own account on twitter and facebook

Question

I'm trying to update my own App/account on Facebook and twitter. Using basic authentication on twitter, this was pretty easy. However, with all the new security stuff, I have no idea where to begin. I've got a twitter account and a facebook app to which I want to post a status update (using PHP). I could use some getting started guides on publishing to a known account.

Answer 1

Twitter is having quite a lot of documentation and examples about OAuth. This is the best starting point to move from basic to OAuth authentication.

For facebook you can find the documentation about OAuth here.
