As a natural succession, we are about to see something that will assist this - oAuth. In fact, Chris Messina[...]

I mean, you don't even really need to stock up on many pieces, just throw in a few cushions here and there, a rug or towel in the bathroom, and maybe a lampshade and the whole place just becomes alive.

Random, I know, but check it out for yourself and you'll catch my drift....
