OAuth for Mac Apps
OAuth is one of the standards behind the emerging open social web. It allows you to grant access for one site to access data on another, say allowing LinkedIn to keep track of your GMail address book. My friend Jon Crosby just released an OAuth consumer library for Mac Apps.
Some people seem to think the open social web will be created with press releases. It’s actually people like Jon, who are building and releasing the tools, that are going to make this happen.

Tony, thanks for mentioning OAuth for Mac apps. I am excited to see what Mac developers can do with it. With enough service providers on the other end, there should be lots of interesting mashups.
