I don't think digg makes it "mainstream". Microsoft and AOL supporting OpenID makes it mainstream.<a class="user" href="http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=digg.com">http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=digg.com</a> - 0.665% of internet users visited digg yesterday<a class="user" href="http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=aol.com">http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=aol.com</a> - 1.395% of internet users visited AOL yesterday (and that's just for *.aol.com )<a class="user" href="http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=microsoft.com">http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=microsoft.com</a> - 5.14% of internet users visited Microsoft yesterday (and that's just for *.microsoft.com)MS and AOL probably bring about 15% of internet users with them while digg brings a fraction of that amount.
