Recently i was checking Google federated login API implementation with Zoho. While using Google login facility with Zoho I encountered a BIG error. I logged in to Zoho with "Sign in using Google" facility. After using it when i logged out of Zoho, I found that i was still logged in in my Google account. Looks like this api has logged me in my Google account also in the background. This is a BIG bug in a country like India where maximum internet users use public places for internet access.
I am really impressed by google's 20% innovation strategy. It gives space to an individual programmer to innovate and show his skills in his area or topic of choice. I will highly reccomend to new startup to adopt 10% innovation strategy. This will give startup a good amount of time to work on their project and simultanously give programmer also a fair amount of time to work for their choice of topic. Always remember that if google wouldn't have adopted this then they couldn't have develope adsense, google suggest and orkut like products. These products require efforts similar a full company product.

To overcome this Zoho plans shortly to show an information page with the respective IDP's logout URL link when a such an user logs out of Zoho. For example, when a user who has signed in to Zoho via Google does logout from Zoho, he will be shown an information page which will have a Google logout URL link which he can click if required.
