Another week and more news on OpenID. Here’s a little roundup.
First there is blog hosting service WordPress.com which is working as an identity provider now. So everyone running a blog on this platform has an OpenID, username.wordpress.com. However users can’t sign in to WordPress.com with their OpenID’s yet. It is just possible to use the WordPress.com OpenID to sign in to other websites and services like LiveJournal.
Chris Messina has discovered that 37 Signals‘ new application Highrise will support OpenID. Great find, Chris.
OpenID Directory is launching a ping service for OpenID enabled sites. Each time someone successfully signs in to a website their identity provider will ping OpenID Directory. Good idea to make OpenID more known. Of course, Thomas Huhn has all details. However also read Evan Prodromou’s comment on the announcement, please.
