NNW + OAuth + Ma.gnolia

 

Hi Brent,

 

Congrats on NNW going free! That's huge news! I really want to blog about what it means soon, but alas, my list is long. Anyway, congrats.

 

I wanted to point you to another request, that I second, for support for Ma.gnolia in NNW:

I know you're fairly set on serving a larger audience, but I think it's time you abstracted the functionality out and made it possible to post to the bookmarking service of your choice from within NNW.

 

I've CC'd both Larry from Ma.gnolia and Jon Crosby, who wrote the OAuth Objective-C library, because it should be easier than ever to add support in NNW for Ma.gnolia. With OAuth, you get a Flickr-like authorization flow for Ma.gnolia (or any other service that supports to the protocol) and you please a bunch of your customers.

 

Anyway, I'm not sure what else I can offer to convince you, but since you'll probably be in town for Macworld, maybe we could all meet up and we can discuss this further over a beer.

 

What do you say?

 

Chris
