However, I would have to agree with Aswath. The problem for OpenID are the hassles over the authentication credentials needed by the provider. I think OpenID would be smart to pursue a partnership with Verisign or another established signer in the marketplace so it can quickly excelerate and become more accepted by consumers. Geotrust (now Verisign), used to have a really cheap personal cert. I see OpenID taking it's place. -Maxine I am a big advocate for OpenID, and in the last few weeks it has helped me emensily.

Surprised that Microsoft Cardspace hasn't come in to take it on yet. While I applaud the influence "early adopters" like Myspace will have on the initiative, the land grab and lack of accepting OpenID logins deflates the situation completely. How lame to issue and not accept! I hate to say this because I respect the people involved but OpenID is not providing much value to it's users. Bidirectional updating of personal information on social nets (among many other things) is what people want. People use the same user/pass on most sites anyway. Let's get cracking on this, taking waaay to long to get OpenID going. Maybe get Arrington to work on the problem when he gets bored with the TC flatpanel PC ;-) I’ve been following OpenID for years.
