Support for XAuth authentication

[Muhammad]

I think it is better if Goodreads support xauth authentication; to simplify authentication process (e.g for mobile/widget client app)

thanks

How does it work?

hi,
xauth is (still) oauth; you can find more about xauth at
http://xauth.org/info/

FYI, AFAIK almost all twitter mobile app using xauth

from mobile app users/developers point of view, they didn't need to go through heavy OAuth flow to approve data sharing (eg. user don't need to open browser).
