a. Open ID is a protocol not an api ... I'm talking about something more akin to the old way twitter used to verify twitter logins in their api
b. Open ID deals mainly with authentication ... I'm talking about both authenticating and providing access to limited user information ... email, name, phone ... that sort of thing.
I just think Open ID was over elaborate, I'm hoping something simpler could succeed where it has failed.
Hope that makes sense.
- jarek 16y agoYou think OpenID was over elaborate but want to provide the user's phone number?
- trustfundbaby 16y agoYou're missing the point. I'm advocating for a general direction ... I don't have specifics.. Its not crazy. Facebook just announced something along those lines today http://marketaire.com/2010/12/23/facebook-registration-tool/ http://marketaire.com/2010/12/23/facebook-registration-tool/
