  • chrismessina: @jlbruno Hey, it's great that Facebook is adopting OAuth — but it's confusing to consumers to keep switching up terminology.

  • chrismessina: @SebSacard I see. Well, XAuth is just a shared cookie jar really; OpenSocial is an entire web application platform! They're complements.

  • chrismessina: @SebSacard XAuth is far too new to have any papers written about it! Suffice it say, they solve very different problems!

  • chrismessina: @gordonmattey Ideally the functionality of XAuth could be subsumed by the browser. Until that happens, a central service helps us bootstrap.

  • chrismessina: @Shawn_Butler Those technologies don't simplify the situation. The existence of a technology doesn't guarantee that a problem's been solved.

  • chrismessina: @evanpro Small sites *can* extend XAuth. The challenge is getting 3rdparty sites to recognize them. It's no different today with the NASCAR.
