I also read Warpspire's reasons for not using OpenID. Your post and his made me rethink some of the lectures I attended in college, I remember back in college that the words "pervasive" and "ubiquitous" were the computer science buzzwords. And that was all I thought they were at the time; buzzwords that would be replaced the next year by new ones. My assumption seemed to be correct at the time. But now "social media" and "web 2.0" are the new buzzwords and they do not seem to be going away anytime soon. And to me these buzzwords are eerily similar to pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Everyone wants multiple ways to be interconnected. I think solutions like OpenID naturally lend themselves to this type of distributed social networking environment. I agree that the implementation is not the best, but as more players enter the scene the better implementations will rise to the top. I like the article.
