Google is making it even easier for developers wishing to implement OpenID with the OAuth. Google has announced that developers can now utilize a “Hybrid Protocol” that combines the OpenID federated login with the OAuth authorization process. The new OpenID OAuth extension makes it easier for developers to implement OAuth through initial authentication using OpenID. According to Yariv Adan on the Google Data APIs Blog:
Yahoo! has announced the rollout of some limited tests for OpenID’s Simple Registration specification. If you’re not familiar with OpenID, it’s an innovative way for handling user authentication that provides a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet.
Three months after its initial launch, much-talked-about data portability service Gnip has released version 2.0 of its API, as well as the first glimpse of a business model. As we covered back in March, Gnip’s goal is to “connect Data Consumers to Data Publishers in a low-latency, highly-scalable standards-based way.” Gnip is a sort of proxy that makes data from diverse Publishers–services like Delicious or Twitter, which create activity content–available in a unified format, and notifies Consumers–like FriendFeed or Plaxo–via a push interface when new data is available. The new version of the API adds full data delivery, XMPP support, and advanced data filtering.
Earlier this year Google released its AJAX Libraries API as a content distribution network and loading architecture for some of the more popular open source JavaScript frameworks (our Ajax Libraries API Profile).
Gnip today announced a much needed piece of the web services infrastructure – a proxy service that sits between Data Publishers (like Digg, Flickr, and Twitter) and Data Consumers (like Plaxo and MyBlogLog) as a means to make moving structured data between services more efficient, flexible and scalable.
Yahoo took its second major step this year in opening up its service to the wider web, under the rubric of Y!OS (Yahoo Open Strategy, introduced here), with the release today of the Yahoo Address Book API.
