OpenID

I followed the instructions here to create an OpenID for myself at MyOpenId, and added the magic bits that associate this weblog with that ID: Permanent link to this item in the archive.

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" /> Permanent link to this item in the archive.

<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://davew.myopenid.com/" /> Permanent link to this item in the archive.

If you do a View-Source you'll see these two link elements in the <head> section of the HTML. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

So now I can use any of the services that use OpenID as an identity system, and not have to create a new identity.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

It took a few years, but it's great to see software actually being built around the identities that aren't vendor controlled.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
