Productive development. Now let us crash the tie to make this a universal phenomenon. Al of us should ask the websites that we interact with to implement OpenID. I will start with free online information managing applications like Google Docs, Zoho, and eDeskOnline

While the concept is nice, I think it's a bad idea, I mean hackers will only need one person's username and id then all the sudden they will have access to ton's of account's all over the web. I would much rather stick to the traditional way of name's and passwords.

I used to use Yahoo all the time. That is, until I became involved with yahoo Answers. Apparently one of the answers I supplied was deemed "offensive", and my account was promptly terminated - without even telling me which of my many answers was offensive or why. This means I can no longer participate in Yahoo Answers, of course, but it also means that I can't access my Yahoo mail, my Yahoo groups, my Yahoo Messenger, my Yahoo Favorites, my Yahoo Buddy List, my Yahoo Personals... totally cut off without any recourse or redress.
And now Yahoo wants to add to the list of services I'd be cut off from without even being required at the very least to give a full explanation for the reason?? Nope, I'm sorry. Until this policy is drastically changed I'll be sticking with Google.
