title: How Does Twitter's OAuth System Work?
body: <p>I have got a demo script that lets me authorize with my app and sends back my token. But this is confusing.</p>
  
  <p>I have always used username and password in my CURL or simpleXML functions to authorize the API call. I don't understand how this relates to oauth.</p>
  
  <p>I get that I will store the token, but what do I do with it once i have it? Nothing I've found online is clear and it makes the assumption that I'm stephen hawking and already know 9/10ths of what they are talking about.</p>
  
  <p>Help me go from using username and password in the http address, to using my oauth token instead.</p>
