Best way to "hold" access to users other sites

I am playing with an idea that would allow people to add tickets to unfuddle, post a message to twitter/facebook etc. all from the one site. To do this I need their username/password for these other sites but I don't really want to know that information. Is there another way of achieving the same thing without having to holding this kind of information, going through a trusted third part site?

A lot of sites offer APIs, and you should use these - in some cases, they will issue you with a token to say not only have they authenticated, but they allow you to impersonate them.
