Ryuichi Okumura have written an interesting piece on using YConnect with Node.js and YQL. YConnect is a new authorization system that is compatible with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, released last November by Yahoo! Japan.

YConnect anticipates client-side applications such as native applications and can support many cases of use. This time, I would like to introduce examples that uses UserInfo API, supplied by YConnect, from Node.js and YQL.
