I found that to be of limited use. If I use my proper gmail account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), I managed to log into the OpenID directory, but not, say, into SourceForge (probably because SF doesn't accept that specific provider - so it's not truly open, and probably shouldn't be). If I used it with the Google account associated with my regular email address, I couldn't login anywhere at all. In any case, this provider apparently didn't provide an email address to the site. That makes it useless for most applications I can think of, unless it's acceptable to go through a setup procedure again at the new site that asks for all the user details (real name, email address) again. > It solves the opposite problem -- using a Google Account to log in to > an app that requires OpenID.

I'm fairly skeptical about this OpenID thing. I personally couldn't remember any of my OpenIDs, because they are just too long; plus I haven't actually seen this really work anywhere yet.
