But I can instantly nand effortlessly use my either my Google, Yahoo or OpenID user accounts to log into multiple websites/services. So then, cluem me in on why Facebook Connect wins?

I can use facebook to log into many other services, with a choice of OpenID's. If there is an 'identity services war' then Google is losing bad. Facebook seem commited to going further than any of the big players. It leaves Google to play catchup. Only funny thing about all this is that I can now log into Facebook with my Google username and password and hence to many other Facebbook supported services. What bugs me the most is that while I can log into my facebook account with another identity I cannot do that with Google. They only allow their own OpenID, meaning I need multiple OpenID accounts. Something which totally defeats the purpose. Even in the first paragraph of this article shows that Google was alredy behind Facebook "now have a much better user experience; one much closer to that of Facebook Connect." I think it is time to take the Google service up a notch. I don't want to hear any excuses here. I want promises of service on a par to Facebook... maybe even better than Facebook. Aim high please :) Facebook is beating Google hands down on OpenID implementation. I can use facebook to log into many other services, with a choice of OpenID’s.
