If you haven’t done so already, go check out (and hopefully use, afterwards) idproxy.net. As written in idproxy.net’s about page: idproxy.net acts as a bridge between these two worlds. You can sign in to idproxy.net using your Yahoo! account, and then create one or more OpenID accounts for use elsewhere on the Web. Basically, if [...]
Everyone else has written about it and since I’m a bit behind on my feeds reading list I just got around to check it out. OpenID Tests is a testing tool allowing you to test your OpenID server and OpenID page. This is such a great tool and could save an OpenID developer tons of [...]
I just read Simon Willison‘s post about idproxy.net. It’s funny, I just talked about such a service in a previous post and also mentioned I’m working on the same service. I was suppose to release it a week ago but had some other issues to attend to as well as some learning curve with using [...]

Whenever I [...]

Social Networks) is a hot topic which will probably get some answers in 2007 (hopefully even good ones). What if we could have relationships between [...]
After Passport Windows Live ID and the Liberty Alliance Project now comes Google Account Authentication, which opens up the ability to use anyone’s Google Account to perform authentication to a system. What surprises me in this whole deal is that it seems we are going backwards, back to a “one authentication to rule them all” [...]
