OpenID - the new Passport?

Distributed identity, but where's the catch?

Published on June 27, 2005 By GreenReaper In Virtual Communities

OpenID looks interesting. It's a method of identification without explicit registration (except on your home site - one you choose to trust, rather than one you have to trust). It's in the process of being rolled out on LiveJournal and other sites that use its software. I suspect it could come into use elsewhere, if it's simple enough to setup.

I wonder, will I someday sign myself GreenReaper of WinCustomize.com?

PS: My article about WinCustomize search plugins is more useful than this one.
