Reading through the authentication docs because I want Facebook and
Twitter auth for my web2py app.

Unfortunately the Facebook auth example no longer works, since about 6
months ago Facebook stopped maintaining an SDK for Python.

Looks like it's being maintained here now: https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/

So maybe update the docs to use that.

However it might be time to add in something to the docs that supports
auth in a few different networks (e.g.: Facebook, Google, Twitter and
LinkedIn), without requiring Janrain?

This project allows for this for App Engine, but I haven't yet tried
to incorporate it into web2py or get it running without GAE:

Interested in hearing your thoughts,
