Is OpenID dead?
qeorge: OpenID is a great idea, but the execution is off. For one, there's too many providers, so I have to remember a weird URL just to login (myvidoop.com? really?). The whole process is inherently awkward.On the other hand, using your Facebook, Google, Twitter, or Yahoo login is easy and familiar. These services don't have the openness we want, but if the goal is to increase engagement I think its a net win.
