OpenId on the right track

The long anticipated wait for a true global ID system might soon be over. OpenId is indeed gaining ground in an interesting way (you were right O’Reilly Radar), and might reach critical mass with more news like this one:

Kevin Rose [CEO of Digg] just announced that Digg will adopt the OpenID decentralized digital identity platform […] later this year”. […]

This Digg news comes just after Microsoft and AOL announced their support as well. Yahoo, LiveJournal, and Wikipedia are among the other services that have previously announced adoption.

We are not in a single-sign on world yet, but it finally looks like there is a strong movement towards the adoption of the global identity system we so badly need.
