Bug Description

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/712102:

Package: pidgin-microblog
Version: 0.3.0-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

     The Twitter API 1 drop dead date apparently arrived and the previously available access to Twitter was gone.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     I attempted to login as normal to Twitter using Pidgin.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     Authentication error. This was similar to what was reported by Wil Wheaton as to his particular client no longer accessing Twitter: https://plus.google.com/108176814619778619437/posts/Bb2biiyguzj

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     Being able to access Twitter.

Bug is additionally reported upstream at: http://code.google.com/p/microblog-purple/issues/detail?id=269
