EastMedia, in conjunction with VeriSign, developed a Ruby on Rails OpenID Server to provide complete Yadis and OpenID 1.1 support in a full-stack production-ready application. The server is open source licensed and was released through the Apache Heraldry project in the Summer of 2006. It is in use at VeriSign’s PIP, and a growing number of other sites. The source code has been moved to Ruby Forge? and is available at:
http://heraldry.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk
If you are interested in enabling OpenID logins for your Ruby on Rails application, you want to become an OpenID Consumer. See Consumer Plugin, where you can install the necessary Rails plugin.
Also, various write my essay programs are contributing to the proliferation of social and mainstream media.
