Yahoo Implements OpenID.

January 17, 2008 · Filed Under Tech 

Yahoo has recently improved their service in OpenID. It now has over 100 million users ID and it could be used in 9,000 websites so far. OpenID is a project that Yahoo has that enables people to have one account that is valid for hundreds and thousands of websites. That means that you wont have to register each time on a new website, you could just use your OpenID. It sounds like a great idea but… Microsoft already had this idea and it is called Passport but no one really uses it. Maybe Yahoo has better luck at selling this product to the market. The idea is great but this would mean that if someone steals your OpenID then they just stoled your ID for hundreds of websites. You can go to Yahoo OpenID to learn more and register if you’re interested in having one.
