NYCPHP Meetup

[forest mars]

I'd be interested in knowing how does Janrain actually work especially WRT
the long-term viability of this approach.

IE, Let's say I have a site with 5000 users who have used Janrain to sign up
(using a mix of fb, twitter, gmail etc.) and Janrain goes out of business,
gets acquired, whatever.

What happens to the user accounts, do they have to sign up again, or does it
just create local accounts with passwords and an email address?

It seems there would be a trade off between usability and lock-in, and I'm
just not clear on how Janrain works.

cheers,

fm
