OpenID Sat. Nov 24th, 07

WordPress.com uses OpenID.  So does vox.com, as well as LiveJournal and many other sites.  This means that you can use your user ID from one site on the other.  So, if your name is Bob, you can sign in to WordPress with bob.vox.com.  This is as long as you are signed into to Vox at the time.   You can also get your own domain  to use (bob.name) or use an ID service.  Personally, I really wish Google would offer OpenID support.  I’d love to log in to the various services I use with just my email addy.

    Google just announced that it will support OpenID via its blogging platform, Blogger. That’s a nice start, but I think they need to offer a rodney.google.com login. Then I can go to rodney.google.com instead of http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en
    Or, I could just get my own domain name, like rodney.is, or, if I’m lucky, rbj.is
