I created an OpenID account yesterday with MyOpenID and setup my personal domain name to delegate all the hard work to MyOpenID. All I had to do was signup for an account with MyOpenID and stick two javascript tags in the
section of my site.So, for example, DHH can login to any OpenID enabled website by just providing his domain name, www.loudthinking.com. I know this because you can find the following when you view the source:
Another cool feature of MyOpenID is that you can create personas. This allows you to give information out to sites you sign up with during the signup process, such as your email address or date of birth. It’s really easy to set up and is way easier than filling out form fields on all fifty web2.0 sites you sign up with every day. So the process of signing up on a site like jyte would look like this:
Jyte signup page
MyOpenID login page
Persona selection page
After setting this all up, I’ve become extremely annoyed when I encounter a site that doesn’t support it. There is no force more powerful in this world than laziness, so I’m sure this is a sign that OpenID will be ubiquitous in the near future.

July 4th, 2007 at 03:45 PM You know Mr. Casino, I was thinking the same thing. That craps bet really does have the organisational letter. Anyone who says otherwise is manifestly itching for a fight.
February 29th, 2008 at 06:12 PM I beg to differ, it's clear that you need to be taken out back behind the woodshed to learn you some sense. It's obvious to anyone with a shred of brains in their head that craps bet does not have the organizational letter. That's like thinking that that poker bluff has the hierarchical number. Also, OpenID is brilliant, I was really skeptical at first, and still have trouble explaining it to non-techie folks, but I'll figure out how to explain it to them and then it will take off, yep, like an eagle.
