combine openid and oauth are interested. However, I'm also bound by
what the providers I choose to work with support.
What I've found is that Yahoo provides an optional parameter as

John mentioned, an OAuth extension

(application). So OAuth is a way for an application (web or desktop)
to interact with an API of
I can't give you a technical answer for this, but no, OpenID does identity
(and claimed identifiers), whereas OAuth substitutes a token and consumer
key for username and password.
That said, you essentially identify requests by the consumer key, and allow
them through if they're signed with the pro
