Sorry, I don’t see any value in OpenID (yet). I see lots of potential, but that is all.

I agree with earlier comment. It is important that all these companies who want to become OpenID providers also ACCEPT the OpenID. Unless this happens there is no real benefit to the end user. Companies focused around providing OpenID as a service then can distinguish themselves by providing specific services around identity managment like enhanced security (for example secure cards).

I see a big problem these days: there is a “provider race” going on. All these companies want to become the defacto identity provider, but none of them seems to want to accept other providers’ OpenIDs.
This sucks. Maybe the foundation should make it clear to the participants (and everyone else) that OpenId will only fly if all websites ACCEPT openID authentication, and that becoming a provider is not critical.
