sharebro.org status update

[Alex Chaffee]

"Save Your Sharebros" is the first thing you see, with a link that
will authenticate you and grab your friends lists. Please try this and
let me know if it works -- it's the most important feature right now.

Authentication is much cleaner -- there's a clear "sign in" and "sign
out" and sessions persist longer. (That big number is your google user
id.)

The "googled" page has been supplanted by a "sharebros" page which
lists the same info minus the json crap. If you want to see the json
crap, the old /googled page is still there, but I will be renaming it
"sandbox" to make it clear it's for playing around.

Next up will be to make the sharebros page more useful, organize your
friends by who's following whom, and soon hopefully a one-click
"subscribe to all my old sharebros in Reader" button like Ridllr does.

Integration with Emmanuels' "Share" button userscript is proceeding in parallel.

Note for the security minded: I don't have proper accounts yet, so I'm
saving the OAuth access token in an encrypted Rack session cookie.

Even if someone cracks it the damage should be minimal since I only
requested read access to your Google Reader account information --
e.g. I don't think anyone could, say, access your GMail or Google Docs
-- but I'd be happy to entertain more devious scenarios. This is the
most expedient way to get things rolling and I want to get things
working ASAP, with proper disclaimers.
