Understanding OAuth . A Refence Article
I tried my best to understand OAuth from the documentation provided by Twitter but could not understand the basic necessity itself as the doc is very technical in nature.
But after a search on OAuth articles on Google, I stumbled across this article (aptly titled OAuth for Dummies)
What an article !!!
Makes the process of understanding OAuth a breeze. These are the kinda of articles that get you up and running on a topic in just one read. Amazing !!
Highly recommended.

Kickstarting Project "Bol"
Bol stands for "speak" in Hindi.
Whats the project all about?
Simple. Its using twitter, with a more familiar interface for social networking, à la facebook.com .
I was frustrated with twitter.com's web interface & i was not a great fan of Facebook's privacy policy. So i thought of pulling the good characteristics of these 2 social giants and creating a mash-up.
Agreed. i am targeting a niche audience. But my aim is different. Rather than providing a new interface to existing users, i plan to use this mash-up to target new users trying to get onto Twitter.
Personally i feel a lot of potential in Twitter [not so much in Twitter.com] . I firmly believe twitter has the potential to become social-knowledge warehouse or shall we call it "an ecosystem of connected wisdom"ecosytem.
Wish me luck. Here i go !!!
