OAuth Methods‣ Web must use three legged OAuth

‣ Desktop and mobile apps can also use out-of-band OAuth

xAuth is OAuth

Annotations?

DRAFT

What do annotations look like?‣ Every annotation has

‣ a “type”

‣ type maps to attribute and value pair

‣ Types can be repeated but attributes in each annotationcannot be

‣ Store an array of annotations per tweet

‣ Same “visibility policy” as tweets

[{type1 => {attribute1 => val1, attribute2 => val2, ..., attributen => valn}}, {type2 => {attributen+1 ...}}, ...]

What makes an annotation?

What makes an annotation?

Anything you want

The Rules‣ Rule 1: Put whatever you want in there

‣ Rule 2: Remember annotations you add are useable by others

‣ Rule 3: Nobody owns an annotation type

‣ Rule 4: Be careful consuming them - we don’t do any validation

ExamplesWhat can I do with Annotations?
