about.digg.com— Digg talks about the motivation for supporting open standards based authentication options in the next version of the site, including Google, Yahoo, OpenID, and Twitter. — Submitted Mar 17, 2010
Today I finally get around to figuring out why some of our customer aren't receiving business email attachments. To cut a long story short, Outlook Express isn't compatible with Outlook 2007 (through our SBS2008R2 server) due to issues with any mail format other than plain text. You would think two version of the same application by the same company wouldn't have those issues.There are no fixes for Outlook Express leaving it with a permanent fatal flaw. So I look into the successor of Outlook Express - Windows Mail that was released with Vista. Nope. It's Vista only and Microsoft has dumped it anyway. Okay. I'm trying to keep this all as vanilla as possible for people who think Windows is their email client. So I move onto Windows Live Mail which comes with an "install my adware toolbar" type pre-selected assortment of application.Drop back to the administrator (run as never did work) account to install and on launch get presented with a dialog with a Windows Passport logo at the bottom. I LOL. That old turkey is still kicking! Explore the options for creating an email account and get a choice of @hotmail.com(.au) or live.com. WTF? This is the replacement to the standard Windows mail client. I've got a hotmail account. It's my spam collector for when I'm too lazy to create a once off alias on the server. Screw that s**t...So I immediately thought, if I'm going to be pushing anything than it's got to be using some kind of open (email) authentication system or I might as well be recommending IncrediMail for the smaller customers...
Usually when I log in to Digg I already have some Digg tabs opened. It annoys me that after logging in, Digg redirects me to the page of the last opened tab instead of the current page.On the bright side, at least they solved the jumping edit textbox issue.

Well, it surely makes user tracking over the Internet a lot easier.

I don't think this proposal has enough drive.

This is fixed in the next version of Digg too.
