As more and more companies adopt OpenID, the marketing message will become more refined. It all takes time and effort. And what we do have now is a huge effort. -James Here is a quick video explaining OpenID.

There are plenty of OpenID screencasts that Ariel Gordon & Co. could point those 40M people to... From my Simpy perspective, adding these 40M potential OpenID users is good. Simpy recently got OpenID support (see http://blog.simpy.com/blojsom/blog/news/2007/09/12/Simpy-Release-OpenID-and-Profile-Monsters.html ) and I've been monitoring its adoption and OpenID provider distribution. In a few weeks I'll post the analysis on Simpy's blog, but for now I'll say that OpenID users are trickling in. I'll watch out for openid.orange.fr @Ariel Gordon: Simpy.com "speaks" French, too. You may want to add it to the "En français" section at http://openid.orange.fr/help/#quelssont -- I see you don't have any social bookmarking services available in French and supporting OpenID there (I think Simpy is the only one :)). @Duncan:

Not at the Orange I worked for! About the best the international team could come up with was branding requirements. Rolling out technology across the Group has so far been a complete disaster.

Marketing of OpenID could generally be better, no doubt about it. BTW, the sites mentioned on the screenshot are not providers but consumers (or relying parties in OpenID terms), i.e. they accept an OpenID for login.
