In an awesome move, Yahoo! has today announced their support for OpenID. What does this mean? That eventually you’ll be able to sign on to more than 9000 OpenID enabled sites using your Yahoo ID AND you’ll be able to sign into Yahoo! using your OpenID, if it’s hosted elsewhere (like at JanRain, for example)….

37signals, a fantastic web based software company, took a huge leap forward today in allowing OpenID as a sign-on option for two of their products, Basecamp and Highrise. For those of you who don’t know what OpenID is check out my previous coverage and this page on OpenID. The basic idea is that it is…

This is very cool. A great wiki site – wetpaint just added support to sign in using OpenID. I’m very excited about more and more sites adding support for this exciting technology. Single sign-on for the web is one of my major beefs with browsing the web. It’s not a major site like digg or…

Digg just announced their support of it. Welcome to the club 🙂 GrandCentral – this disruptive technology essentially takes…

Yahoo has been unofficially dragged into the OpenID space by Simon Willison and his project IDProxy. Here’s an Idea from the Techcraver to Google – free of charge – you guys should host OpenID’s as a service. This makes sense on multiple levels.
