Testing Twitter OAuth for ExpressionEngine

I just cobbled together a rough module that allows users to login with their twitter-account to leave comments in ExpressionEngine. Right now it does just that, nothing more.
One catch is that you don’t have access to the email-address of a twitter user so you have to allow commenting without it and notifications of follow-up comments are also a no-go right now.

I would appreciate to get some test comments here to see if there are any issues with the effort so far.

UPDATE: I’ve converted the module into an extension/plugin-combo to add more features. Twitter users may now leave their email-addresses and tweet about the comment. Testing continues…
