OpenID still seems...fairly immature and not user friendly.
Then again, it's been a while since I tried to use it. I probably
have the terminology wrong.
Last I checked, google was an Open ID "provider." If you try to log
into a site that accepts Open ID logins, you should be able to use
your google account. Or your facebook, myspace, yahoo, etc, etc
account.
The trouble is finding sites that accept Open ID logins from other
providers.
No idea why that is, unless it's just the pain of re-writing their
user handling code. Well, that and figuring out a graceful way for
the user to actually log in. I still haven't ever been able to figure
it out, on the few sites I've seen.
(Which, I think, is a crying shame. Then again, other people are
terrified by the idea that leaking one single login could totally
destroy their online "identity")
