Oh! So that's OpenId

Staying on the cutting edge: OpenID for bloggers

The following post on OpenID was submitted by Yung Chin from YC’s Ramblings

What it does


  • your visitors enter their comment and their blog address

  • your blog server connects to their blog server

  • their own blog server checks that it’s really them (by login)

  • their blog server confirms this to your blog server

  • their comment gets a confirmed link back to their own blog

Credibility

By now you may be wondering how relevant the whole OpenID thing is. If its support in Blogger, Wordpress, LiveJournal, and MovableType (in that interview by Darren, Anil Dash puts it among their top ten features!) isn’t convincing enough, recent coverage at eg. News.com, BBC News, and ITBusinessEdge will tell you that all the biggest players in the web services space are on top of it, including Yahoo, Google, and AOL. What’s best is that the OpenID foundation is a non-profit that ensures the technology is freely available to anyone - including you.
