Yes, I have OpenID support for comments. If you're having issues with it let me know either via a comment or an email (aaron at hockley dot org)

Does this blog support OpenID comments?

I didn't ask that folks require OpenID... only that it be offered as an option.

lolz, open ids are great, but it will drive the less tech savvy away from commenting on your blog.

Well I didn't know that it was moderated. The comment system seems to not be yours so I maybe can't ask you about why I can't input my name and website when posting with OpenID either?

OpenID doesn't have anything to do with spam. I moderate first-time OpenID commenters in the same fashion which I moderate any new commenter... so an OpenID-bot wouldn't be treated any differently than an anonymous bot.

What about spam? You can make your own openid-provider and just throw out openids that bots can use to spam sites using only openid. You have to have captcha or email verification to get rid of spam. Also why does this comment system rely on that you are using the sreg extension of openid? :P

Excellent. The wider the OpenID support, the better.

Why would you need aggregation? Just because one has many potential OpenIDs, it doesn't mean that all of them need to be used. Best practice would be to delegate a secure OpenID to a personal URL (I use Vidoop, delegated to www.aaronhockley.com) for their OpenID, but even without a custom URL one should shoose a relatively permanent provider and use that as their identity.

Hmm, anyone else think that with so many people having OpenIDs from different providers, and OpenID aggregator would be a good idea?

I've got OpenID working on at least one of my Drupal sites, if it counts for anything...

I've been thinking about doing this for a while as well. I've got an i-name (I know, I know...) which also doubles as an OpenID but I never seem to remember to use it. Now if only I could work out how to get my i-name to go back to my blog ... Anyway, +1 from me!

I am trying to see if this OpenID thing works...because I set it up the way LJ suggested and I haven't been able to use it to comment on blogspot. If it works here but not on Blogspot then I'll know where the problem is.

JanRain's myOpenID service now also offers phone-based, two-factor authentication for added security: CallVerified: https://www.myopenid.com/ab...

Vidoop should be giving you some sort of a kickback! I just opened a MyVidoop account (thanks to your advocacy), and here's my first OpenID-enabled comment.

Ditto.

Ramiro - Microsoft has their own ID, but as Hanselman points out on his blog there is an open source .NET implementation out now. Google also has their own ID system so I'm not sure what they want to do about Open ID. Amazon and Yahoo have pieces out there already, you'll have to do a search and check it out...

Totally behind this! What is the stand of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Yahoo, etc... regarding this?

Re: Taking a Stand to Promote OpenID

Mr David Christiansen — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:35:42 -0000

I Support that!

Re: Taking a Stand to Promote OpenID

Scott Muc — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:14:12 -0000

I definitely support this!

OK, I've just updated inpraiseofdreams.blogspot.com to accept registered or openid comments only.

Actions may speak louder than words, but both together is loudest...

Thanks for the mention Aaron. We are always working to make our OpenID provider (http://myvidoop.com) easier to use. Vidoop would be totally behind starting some kind of demand OpenID campaign, grassroots, with a cool logo and some shirts? eh?

Also if you are a myVidoop affiliate you can create your own ID Selector from within our site.

Several previous comments suggest that using OpenID isn't as intuitive as it could be, which is limiting adoption and usage. You might want to check out JanRain's ID Selector (www.idselector.com) which was designed to address this specific market need. You can read reviews on it at https://www.idselector.com/... and see a screen cast demo at https://www.idselector.com/.... You can also see it in production at http://claimid.com/# or http://www.twitterfeed.com/...
