Twitter integration

Made some great progress today but then hit a brick wall. I got some Twitter integration working, where the user enters their twitter username/password, then a random key is sent to their stream (can't send a DM to themselves which would've been preferred). This key is then entered in to the details page of the app tp verify that the users has access to the Twitter account they say they do. This was to be the first step towards integrating with Twitter, and it worked on my dev box. However once it went live on App Engine, I found out that Twitter rejects all update requests that have the Referer header set. Unfortunately, App Engine sets this header and you can't modify it for security reasons, so this functionality will have to be parked for now until Twitter makes a change (fingers crossed).
