Tagalus, Twitter, and OAuth

Login to Tagalus with Twitter and OAuth

If you’re feeling brave, you can try logging into Tagalus with your Twitter name via OAuth.  It’s a Beta feature on both the Tagalus end and the Twitter end, but the results are going to be very exciting as the details get ironed out.  OAuth lets a user verify their credentials (username and password) on only the site that owns the user name (in this case Twitter), meaning you don’t have to trust your password with third-party sites anymore.  Good news for everyone.

Tag migration

Friday, February 6th, 2009

As we change servers, some of the tags have to be ported over by hand.  Everything added via Twitter with the “@tagalus define __ as ___” syntax was moved automatically, but anything added with and OpenID or a Twitter login to http://tagal.us is taking a little longer to move over.  If you added a tag or definition and it’s not up on the new site, it will be soon.
