Dunno if you asked in the JS-Kit forum, but that's a question for them, not the OAuth community. It's technically possible — whether they support it is up to them.

I don't believe you're going to get the answer that you need here. Sorry. – Chris Messina, on November 19, 2009 17:35

What is Flippa?

A comment on the question "How to log in to Facebook with OpenID" in OpenID Foundation:

There's no way for you to sign in to Facebook with a custom OpenID yet. Facebook's OpenID sign in works by using a feature in OpenID called "checkid_immediate". Essentially this feature tells a relying party whether a user is still signed in to their OpenID provider. Facebook runs this check against a small number of well known OpenID providers (mostly Google), and if you've attached your Google OpenID to your Facebook account, logs you in automatically.

Facebook hasn't built support for any random OpenID yet. This is too bad, but if you'd like to see it changed, I'd suggest providing them with your feedback:

Definitely a good idea! Unfortunately, the developer on the project (Brian Ellin) seems to be busy with other projects. If you're a developer, you could take a swing at a patch? http://code.google.com/p/demand/ – Chris Messina, on November 12, 2009 00:47

A comment on the question "When is Twitter going to get groups?" in Twitter:

These aren't "groups" in the usual sense though — they're really just like "saved searches" for a certain set of people. They don't allow other people to "join" the group — nor can members of the list message each other. They look like groups but really aren't anything like them. – Chris Messina, on October 30, 2009 17:00

Chris Messina replied on October 30, 2009 16:39 to the question "Is it correct to use open id Where Money transaction takes place?" in OpenID Foundation:

If you allow someone to use their email address to signup, sign in, or complete a transaction, then you should feel comfortable allowing people to use OpenID as part of the transaction.

An OpenID is just another way to identify your customer — that doesn't require them to create a new password.

No problem. Thanks! – Chris Messina, on October 27, 2009 01:38

Chris Messina reported a problem in Spotify on October 25, 2009 04:26:

Artist overlap problem...

As it turns out, there are two artists, both by the name "Cartel". When playing one Cartel's albums, switching to the other artist is rather... well... incongruous. Perhaps you could separate their listings?

Cartel (artist): http://open.spotify.com/artist/6wQMF2...
Remove this: Cartel – The Throwback Album: http://open.spotify.com/album/4z17bFR...

FlightTrack Pro sending me alerts for trips I'm not on

It would seem that the trips of people that have added me to their inner circle are showing up in FlightTrack Pro's PUSH notifications/iPhone app. That is, I'm shown my *friends'* trips in FlightTrack Pro even though I'm not a traveler on them!

This seems like a serious problem — since I'm getting notifications that a flight I'm not even on is about to take off, causing me terrible anxiety! Ack! ;)

At the very least, some context is warranted: "David R.'s Flight XXX to Hawaii is ready for on-time departure." Etc.

I'd be curious to know which specific approaches you'd recommend? – Chris Messina, on October 20, 2009 21:13
