To add to Blaine's comments, we would love to see folks with general ideas or thoughts about improving OAuth's user experience contribute to the existing OAuth wiki: http://wiki.oauth.net (also a PBWiki) or sharing your thoughts on the OAuth mailing list(s). The iMovie to YouTube flow that Blaine

Please feel free to bring this discussion to the OAuth list, either at the IETF (where we are currently fielding last-call for the IETF charter) at https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/oauth or the OAuth users' group, http://groups.google.com/group/oauth/ I'd also recommend checking out some ver

Would be happy to take part in a brainstorm on that and contribute however possible. The UX for setting up multiple accounts on a desktop app where there's a jarring context change from desktop to browser for each (inc. possibly logging out/in to different accounts on Twitter) just scares me. Ar

oAuth and desktop apps

2009-02-17 Thread Aral Balkan
Hey @al3x et. al., What's the official stance towards oAuth and desktop apps: will all apps, *including desktop apps* be required to implement oAuth? I'm asking 'cos of the old usability chestnut. And, at which point do you actually begin to trust an app that you've instal
