Those of you aware of OpenID likely feel it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The internet is becoming open and data is being shared. While the open web movement is accomplishing some great things, I still find it lacking in actual social connectivity. It’s still difficult to find your friends anywhere other than Twitter and Facebook. It’s still difficult to share things around the web with your friends. It’s still difficult to recognize the response to your blog posts or news articles that aren’t made directly as replies in whatever comment system is being used. OpenID simplifies the entry point to signing up for a new website or service. But where can we go from there? What more can we simplify? What if we could share more than just your identity?
