The problem with OpenID is that there are more sites that use it than actual users. Hopefully with Blogger more people will start to adopt it.

what's 'Open' about it?<a class="user" href="http://fishingengine.blogspot.com">http://fishingengine.blogspot.com</a>

the fact that there can be multiple providers so your not tied to one company and that you dont even need a company to have an openid because if you wanted you could host it yourself or use your own domain and select any id server currently hosted so you have the option of switching providers while keeping the domainand that the technology is open because its not tide to licensing fees and what not because anyone is free to implement it by themselves using open source code

It can't die because it's a decentralized system. You could run your own OpenID service if you want. The only 'bad thing' that could happen would be when major parties drop support for it.Besides, does Firefox allow you to change your passwords across 20 sites at once?

Does it work as a consumer? if not its practically useless. Producers are plentiful, and it seems that every social networking site is slapping in a producer. We have all these OpenID's but nowhere that will let you log in with them other than a few blogs and OpenID test sites like jyte. <a class="user" href="http://download.paramegsoft.com/">http://download.paramegsoft.com/</a>
