What's OpenID? Glad you asked. The long and
the short of it is that it's a single sign-on system for websites across the
Internet. With your identity validated by a single source, you can roam far
and wide logging in with just your ID and no password. It's one of those groundbreaking
Internet-age innovations that you have to experience before you can truly understand
the power of it, like Amazon One-Click or Ajax. But I'll just say that I think
it might soon be big. In about an hour tonight, I was able to configure nancyscola.com
as a personal identity provider that
validates that I indeed am who I say I am. Then with a
simple Movable Type plugin, I enabled comments here on the site to accept
OpenID in addition to the usual name/email/URL sign-on option. There are still
a number of bugs, though, like the plugin refuses to use nickname (mine's "Nancy
Scola") instead of OpenID (mine's "nancyscola.com") as the author
name on comments. Most frustrating! But I'm working on it.
