OpenID Continues

Posted Wed, 10/29/2008 - 23:02 by Krondor

This is a pretty big week for OpenID it would seem.  Not even, 24 hours after I learned of Microsoft's adoption of OpenID, Google joins the fray.  It is quickly reaching a point where OpenID may be viable as a one stop shop of Internet authentication goodness.   I had been kicking around the idea of adopting OpenID here for some time.  Nice to know I'm the catalyst for multi billion dollar corporations jumping on board (joking of course).  

The OpenID Takeover

Wow! One day after I move to accepting OpenID on my site, Microsoft announces they will be supporting OpenID with their existing Windows Live ID credentials. That's huge news! It seems that OpenID has 'won' at this point. This is excellent news. I always appreciated the idea of a common authentication credential for use among multiple sites. There are logistical issues to address in how that is secured, which OpenID has factored. If adoption continues this will significantly reduce the complexity of using the Internet.

Redesign

I know I've done it before, but I am once again in the midst of a redesign of the site. I plan on quite a few changes to come gradually and hopefully I will work out a cohesive plan on the direction I'd like the site to move to. There's a lot of possibilities, but I definitely would like it to be more then a simple blog.
