I still think OpenID is going to be massive

Wired’s Scott Gilbertson is kicking off a fairly juicy rumor that Yahoo! is set to become an OpenID provider. I know I’ve bleated on about how wonderful life could be with OpenID and how it’s going to turn the Internet inside-out but you people need to listen up and listen up hard. One day you will be saying “Wow, remember the days before the proliferation of the decentralized single sign sign-on”. It’s so simple to be set up as an OpenID provider that as soon as Google, Yahoo! or MSN take it up, forgetting your passwords and signing into 20 different websites in a day will be a thing of the past.
