Six cool things you can build with OpenID
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/25/2007

This story is about my site http://idproxy.net/ , which allows people to sign in using their Yahoo! account and create (and use) one or more OpenIDs. It's unlikely that Yahoo! are going to "squash this effort" since it is a perfectly valid usage of their … (see comment)

Use your Yahoo! account as an OpenID
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/28/2007

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/14/2006
