Twitter Tools That Don’t Need Your Password

There are hundreds of Twitter clients, gadgets and widgets out there, but most of them want your username and password — a potential hurdle if you’re privacy-minded. But there are ways of enhancing the Twitter experience without giving up your personal details.
