Do I need OAuth to get public twitter status updates?
I just need to retrieve a public user feed, but some aspects of Twitter's documentation are terrible (unless someone else knows of a "What you can do with the API" page). Do I need to use OAuth for something as simple as that? Does registering an application with Twitter make it public in any way? (I would expect not, but the "Application Name" must be unique, which makes me worry.)
