Episode 16: "OpenID's Historic Week: Microsoft and Google Go Live"
In what will likely be remembered as an historic week for OpenID and for opening up the Social Web, John, David, and Joseph take the show on the road, over to Google headquarters. Special guest Eric Sachs, from the Google's Security Team, shares the backstory behind Google becoming an OpenID provider and talks about how he sees OpenID and OAuth fitting together to solve problems on the Web and in the enterprise. Since we shot this episode yesterday, Google has now removed their whitelist meaning that any OpenID site can use their OpenID Provider.
