Comments on: Could OpenID Revolutionize Online Shopping? http://www.centernetworks.com/openid-online-shopping Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:50:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Miiko Mentz http://www.centernetworks.com/openid-online-shopping/comment-page-#comment-19107 Miiko Mentz Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-19107 I love the concept behind OpenID because it simplifies my online experience and I'm all about simplifying my life, especially since I spend much of it online. We've come along ways since the days of "e-wallets" back in the late 1990s. Remember Microsoft's Passport program. That failed miserably. Not to mention the FTC ruled against Microsoft because it overstated security levels and had privacy issues. I'm excited to see where OpenID goes and so far I like what's unfolding. I'm sure adoption rates will continue to rise, especially since SourceForge.net has embraced it and continues to get OpenID in front of open-source developers. There's an interesting <A HREF="http://janrain.com/blog/2008/05/01/openid-stats-on-may-1st-2008/">post and graphic at JanRain</A>, operators of myOpenID.com, which shows the growth of OpenID by Relying Parties (sites accepting OpenID). With growing adoption rates like that I think we will soon see more and more people accepting and using it.

Quite impressing actually. Though I think this year will be crucial for OpenID. There needs to be at least one big vendor accepting OpenIDs at all properties. That will be a real signal for other vendors. Yes, I have seen the JanRain graphic. Quite impressing actually. Though I think this year will be crucial for OpenID.
