It uses oAuth authentication.

Usage

Twitter Applications

In order to allow external access to a twitter account, you need to register an “Application” in https://dev.twitter.com/ There’s already a “PloneTweet” application registered that can be used, but if you want to use your own, just regiter it there.

Actually posting or getting to/from Twitter

This product just saves the needed data in order to post tweets or read them. You’ll need additional products in order to do so, for example http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.twitter.action
