OpenID

Daniel, April 5th, 2008

I went to post a comment on an old acquaintance’s blog, and it asked me for either a Blogger account, or an OpenID. I didn’t have the former, and hadn’t heard of the latter. I checked it out, downloaded and installed phpMyID, and now my OpenID will be http://virtualinfinity.net/openid/daniel_pitts/ Pretty awesome if you ask me :-)

    It is, but the great strength of OpenID is that someone else manages your secure identity. I find it better to use something like myOpenID or Verisign for it.. Just my thought. :)

    I thought that the great strength of OpenID was that it was open, so that anybody could manage ids, and anybody could confirm ids :-)
