Every time I see many big corps busy making press releases claiming
they support a standard, that is almost a sure sign of failure…
That means they haven’t figured out a strategy yet. Just see how
awkward it is to use Yahoo OpenID today. They haven’t figured out
anything yet but just to cuddle together to claim they are “OPEN”
and up-to-date.

I like the simple and working password mgr provided by mashedLife.com
better. They just silently serve people’s real needs instead of
claiming this and that.

Consumers really do not care or understand OpenID and we don’t bother
to. We have Mashedlife.

Most people donot interact in a site because they have to “sign up” and this i hope alleviates that problem thus saving us small community sites like exoticbuddha.com , small sites and have users have less of a hassle.

can’t wait to try this out ~

So we are going to have lot’s of OpenID’s, from different publishers, one from each major player such ass Google, Microsoft, Facebook etc an one or a few more for all the minor players – not that different from now, but already much less user accounts & logins to manage. It will be interesting to see how the data portability debate will interact with the OpenID concept.

We’ve long needed an open and global authentication system. I’m looking forward to the adoption that will follow.

Congrats, OpenID.

Once again, our choice to use OpenId exclusively for treasurelicous.com has proved to be a smart one.

Welcome, Google, Microsoft, Verisign, et al., to the OpenId party. Go ahead and grab a drink, the pizza is in the other room.

i certainly do not mind openID as an alternative to a proprietary password login model. the problem is tha tit is being adopted in place of open completely anonymous environments. i find this a concern. just a i can walk into a cafe and start up a conversation without being ID’d at the door; i should be able to do the same on a blog or forum. sure i could establish a fake identity; by why should i. this all has more to do with data mining than ease of use. in my opinion it all stinks.

I know you want everyone to know how cool you are, but really is it necessary to TWICE pat yourselves on the back in the first paragraph? I start to wonder what you think the news is – the news itself or that you “anticipated it”.

The first paragraph is 189 characters. Pull out the self-admiration and it leaves:

OpenID is welcoming some big new partners to the club – Microsoft, Google, Verisign and IBM.

That’s 93 characters, and THAT is the news.
