<div>It would be nice if RP's had a "I'll scratch your back if
you'll scratch mine." system by which they could send short
messages to one another's networks - for instance, Monster.com would
say "Hey Yahoo, please notify all the Friends of this user on
your network, blah blah blah." and Yahoo could do so.</div>

Yahoo has an OAuth protected API that allows a Yahoo user to authorize
an RP to write to the user's Activity Stream using the Yahoo! Updates
API. The user's connections would be able to see the message in their
Updates feed. This is very similar in concept to the News Feed on other
sites.<br>
<br>
It would be really nice if a user could sign into an RP using OpenID,
and simultaneously authorize that site to access their data on Yahoo
using OAuth. Expect to hear more about this soon.<br>
<br>
More info about the Yahoo! Updates API is here:<br>
