Yahoo! Announces Support for OpenID. Here’s the official press release: “Yahoo! Support Triples Number of OpenID Accounts to 368 million”. Directed identity gets a mention; it’s going to be enabled for www.yahoo.com and www.flickr.com. The public beta starts on January 30th. # 17th January 2008, 2:29 pm
The Flickr [OpenID] implementation, coupled with their existing API, means we could all offer things like “log into my personal site for family (or friends)” and defer buddylist management to the well-designed Flickr site, assuming all your friends or family have Flickr accounts.

[... 582 words]Flickr to Authenticate OpenID. Flickr /photos/username/ pages are now (almost) OpenIDs—they point at a new Yahoo!-wide OpenID server, but it hasn’t been switched on yet. It’s OpenID 2 only, presumably so Yahoo! can protect their users’ privacy by using directed identity to hide individual screen names. # 7th January 2008, 10:48 pm
