Openid Introduction

OpenID is the decentralized, lightweight protocol for single sign-on and portable identity that is causing a massive transformation in today's internet. More than 25,000 Web sites currently accept OpenID, with double digit month over month growth. Many of the world's leading companies, including AOL, Yahoo!, MySpace, Google Blogger, France Telecom, Telecom Italia have adopted or announced support for OpenID enabling over 500 million users.

This Open Source technology lets you use your existing presence on the web as a form of identity. It was designed to solve real-world problems around single sign-on, without unnecessary complexity. Just like you can use an email address as a form of identity, OpenID lets you use a web address (URL) that you control to sign in on other sites. And just like email addresses, you can have more than one, for work, or at home, or for any other use. But unlike email, the sites you access can't spam you or access your data unless you give them permission.

I could not appreciate Twitter ;)

Yes. I could not appreciate until I started using Twitter on my net enabled mobile phone. Most of my work involved is at my desktop and browser based tools focused on indexing. When I used entered into Twitter it is just a curiosity and I preferred Blogger, mail and instant messaging to update my contacts than microblogging as it's nature is more of public than private. But using Twitter made things very simple and fast though mobile when I leave my pc and spending time idling somewhere without doing anything.
