Here’s my take on this Single Sign on / OpenID thing… Unless my friends are able to login to flickr etc with THEIR ID of choice, I will not be sending out invites to them to look at my flickr photos. This applies to any social site I may be a member of.

It’s annoying enough that I have to have multiple ids for the sites I participate in but I refuse to make my friends sign up to each site I’m a member of inorder for me to share my stuff with them. So until yahoo, google, twitter, facebook etc get on board with this open identity thingie, their membership isn’t going to be boosted by me.

Hi Marc - glad you like the OpenID2.0 announcement. There are more than a few reasons we made that choice over 1.1 which should become clearer over time. Not the least of which is the no-need-to-remember-a-URL feature…

Yes, I know you think you told us first.

Yes, we’re going slower than you think we should - but we are getting there. It’s a very, very big ship, after all.

2008 is gonna be an amazing year for Yahoo! in terms of being social and open.

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

More later,
Randy
