Why would you feel better about Twitter + OAuth than FaceBook + OAuth (which is what the sign on component of FB Connect is)? From a technology perspective, it's the same protocol. Neither company has a good security track record.

(not criticizing BTW, just curious)

the twitter account could be a throwaway account and generally lesser risk of anybody getting too many personal details.. facebook, not so much ..
