I'd add the positioning phrase I've mentioned before: "OpenID lets people use their own identifier to register, login, and access services at any OpenID-enable site."
We should *not* use the phrase "OpenID gives people a single username they can use at all OpenID-enable websites" because that invites the privacy criticisms we have addressed with directed identity in OpenID 2.0. =Drummond > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Dick Hardt > Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 11:38 AM > To: OpenID marketing > Subject: [Marketing] Some bullet points on OpenID and OpenID Foundation > > To get the ball rolling on some positioning, here are some draft > bullet points for core messages about OpenID and OIDF > > Comments, suggestions welcome! > > -- Dick > > About OpenID: > > +OpenID is a set of specifications to solve user internet identity > problems > (OpenID is not software, it is not solving site identity problems) > > + OpenID is evolving > (OpenID is not done, there is still lots of work to be done) > > + OpenID is community based > (OpenID is not a vendor consortium) > > > About OpenID Foundation: > > + promotes OpenID > > + facilitates the development of OpenID > > + protects OpenID intellectual property > > (The OpenID Foundation does not determine the OpenID specifications) > _______________________________________________ > marketing mailing list > [email protected] > http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/marketing _______________________________________________ marketing mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/marketing
