MySpace To Join OpenID, Bringing Total Enabled Accounts to Over A Half Billion. Another 200 million OpenIDs—but the important difference between this and the Yahoo! and AOL announcements is that MySpace users know what their profile URL is.

  1. ...and still only about 10 useful consumer sites to use them.

  2. Yup, but the case for becoming a consumer grows even stronger. Seriously, if you're a startup and you turn down the chance to have every Yahoo! and MySpace user sign in to your site with a single click (using OpenID 2.0 where they don't even have to type anything) then you're Doing It Wrong.
