I was just wondering if anyone has worked with Yahoo OAuth or the  
Yahoo Social API. They seem to have a pretty thorough and simple PHP  
library, but has anyone attempted a RoR implementation? I’m basically  
looking for some sample code on how to authenticate using Yahoo OAuth  
and then getting the current user’s profile through this URI  
[http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/{guid}/profile](http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/%7Bguid%7D/profile). If anybody could  
provide any guidance that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
