tbh it sounds like the simplest thing is to have each app generate its own long random string and use that as basically the key for writing and reading data. And this coming from someone who is clearly a fan of OAuth.

I have this same problem. It's never worked for me when switching timezones, unless I very carefully choose when I sync with the phone and when I change my timezone. It overwrites data if I don't do it carefully.

I stopped favoriting things directly on Twitter a long time ago! I always favorite stuff because either it shows up in my reader and it's just one click, or on the off chance I do click on a tweet, my browser bookmarklet also gives me one click access to favorite something. Way easier than trying to pull my Twitter favs back from their site.
