Episode 20: "Yahoo Ups the Ante for Online Identity"
John and Joseph cover another busy week for opening up the Social Web with a primary focus on Yahoo's latest iteration of their implementation of OpenID. In a test release that went live today between Yahoo and Plaxo, new users can sign up for Plaxo with their Yahoo OpenID and choose to bring over their basic profile info. John and Joseph give a "magical" demo of this much-improved onboarding flow.
