Good work. The original author of OAuth, Eran Hammer Lahav, had to go and bail out Twitter, back in 2009.
The problem with this identity thing is that, there are only two ways to solve it. 1) Federated Identity. 2) Delegated Identity. You are doing Delegated Identity. Which has its its own problems. Federated Identity has the "PKI Authority" problem. In either case you are completely fucked up. Just doesn't work.
