The OpenID Tipping Point? 0
This morning, a cadre of industry gorillas joined the OpenID Foundation. I had previously thought that 2007 would be the year when OpenID "went wide", but it looks like I was a year too early.
Congratulations to David, Dick, Johannes, et. al., who have devoted so much time to pushing this technology when most people didn't (and probably still don't) understand the need for it.
That's really what this announcement is about, IMO- these giants bring tens of millions of user identities to the OpenID universe, but, more than that, they bring the marketing expertise and resources to explain the need for, and benefits of, OpenID, to The Average Joe.
