Wordpress Becomes an OpenID Provider
Yesterday, Simon Willion announced that you can now use your Wordpress.com blog as an OpenID. This is good stuff. Next step, major sites need to start accepting OpenID as a valid login. I think that the real tipping point will happen once major email sites (Gmail, Hotmail, etc) and social networks (MySpace, Facebook, etc) decide to start accepting OpenID as a valid login. It would also be great if Wordpress enabled users that have a custom install on their own server to create their own OpenID server via a simple plugin. I’ve been thinking about integrating OpenID Enabled into a Wordpress plugin. I’m sure someone is already working on this …. anybody?
