There are far too many authentication methods out there. It’s actually getting to be slightly annoying. And I really wish all these providers would just stick with one open method.
But they don’t, and they won’t so I’m stuck here thinking of a good way to link users accounts across multiple 3rd party sites. I’m sure if I stop thinking about it things will just fall into place. But unfortunately people don’t agree with waiting patiently for a brilliant idea.
C’est la vie, I guess.
Google Wave has some sort of cross system user mojo going on. I’m just starting to look into the Google Wave Federation Protocol… might not be at the protocol level though, but then again, it might.
