Come on People, start using OpenID

Its official, I am now sick and tired of registering on every single different website I use! I honestly thought the uptake of OpenID would have been so much quicker!

For those of you that have no clue what OpenID is, imagine creating an account on 1 website and simply being login into multiple websites using these credentials! A perfect example of this would be registering on http://www.myopenid.com/ and then simply just logging into http://altdotnet.org/ without having to register on altdotnet as well.

Whats seriously disappointing for me is that not even Microsoft have tried incorporating OpenID into their community portals.

    Hey Steven, I wrote a neat OpenID post a while back that might be of interest to some people.

    Not only should more sites use OpenID, they should bloody well provide a means for existing members to ‘migrate’ to an OpenID login without having to create a new account! Even the big guys like Technorati miss this essential option.
