“[...] we could make Twitter the open identity system we’ve been looking for. Make your Twitter ID the one that you use to log on to other service [...]“
I say let Twitter support OpenID with all of the good Relaying Party Best Practices including (but not limited to):
- Ability to associate an existing account with an OpenID
- Ability to switch to another OpenID (sort of a password recovery for OpenID)
- Ability to create a new account directly with an external (non Twitter) OpenID (be a standard relaying party)
If they want to, they can also be an OpenID provider (which should be good for them, of course ;-) ).
It looks like you weren’t the first to make this connection…
I guess if less than 15 people are thinking about something at once, it’s probably crap anyway :-)
