At IIW 2007b OAuth Core 1.0 Final was released. I wish I could attend IIW but I had previous work related obligations that I simply could not get out of. I do hope to attend the next one (IIW 2008a). Now it’s time to update the C# client to the latest and really final version [...]
There is a lot of buzz about Sun’s announcement of OpenID support and the fact that Sun will be giving OpenIDs for all of its employees.
