TwitterGadget: Can't login with OAuth? Create a TwitterGadget User Account Instead

Creating a TwitterGadget user account enables you to login to TwitterGadget in locations where access to Twitter is restricted, thus preventing you from being able to use the 'sign in with Twitter' (OAuth) login process mandated by Twitter starting August 16th, 2010.

@d0nk3yb0i Seriously? Did you actually watch the video? The whole point of the video you've commented on is to show you how to create a TwitterGadget account in order to login from work, as a means to address the fact that Twitter has removed the old style username / password authentication as an option.

@twittergadget in other words.. i dont have another location besides work.. so im dead in the water not ur fault

@d0nk3yb0i Library, school, mobile phone, friend's house, etc. Anyplace will do, as you only need access once to authorize TwitterGadget, login, and create your account.

Why on earth do you bury this function (creating a TwitterGadget account) on your site so it's so difficult to find? Why isn't there just a "click here to register" link from the "Why Create a TwitterGadget Account?" page (and the TwitterGadget home page too for that matter? A very poor and frustrating site design!

Since last week my "Sign in with Twitter" is not working anymore, so I tried "Sign in with TwitterGadget Account", but registering this "TwitterGadget Acount" requires to be "signed in with Twitter", so it's of no use at all!!! My Twitter itself works, also my yFrog and TweeTree etc.pp. ... Hello???
