 * After creating the Consumer key at dev.twitter.com and inputting the key and 
   shared secret in the plugin’s settings, it doesn’t authenticate and I get the
   following error:
 * Error: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <hash> <error>Desktop applications
   only support the oauth_callback value ‘oob'</error> <request>/oauth/request_token
   </request> </hash>
 * Suggestions?
