“An open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simpleand standard method from desktop and web applications”

And now you can use it with the Google Gadget Platform (iGoogle, Web Google Gadgets and Google Desktop) and that is a good thing because it means you now can rest easy that Google will not know of your data if you don`t want them too and because that also means you can do Mashlets of Google own Services Gadgets.
