I think openID will become more and more demanding soon enough. There's already over 250 million accounts for it now. I'm going to research doing it in php. Although not sure if it's best for websites to make their own or tap into one currently made, such as Yahoo's or WordPress's system, which both are openID compatible. I'm thinking it will be a good money maker for websites that want a openID compatible login system on their websites.

What you all think?

I read about and register for openID about 2 years ago, I am yet to find any sites where I can use it

I know lots of open ID site and directories, my question is, where are the big guys that support it? can you login to Yahoo or Google with openID?

I also read that MSN and Google has plans to implement openID, but I guess nothing has been released just yet. Although blogger supports openID and thats owned by Google.
