LiveJournal now has OpenID support. This is hardly surprising as it looks like Brad from LiveJournal created OpenID, but it looks a pretty cool idea. Basically, you could move easily from various blogging/journal service to another, and keep the same ID.
The neat thing with OpenID on LiveJournal is that it means you can trust people from outside of LJ to view your friends entries. Does this mean if I add OpenID to whythehell here, that I can read them without the need of an LJ account? Now that would be pretty cool…
Looks like it. But then, you’ve already got a livejournal account…
I do, but I’d prefer to comment as me from here, because then people can actually see this site rather than my never updated LiveJournal account…
Would that therefore mean that James, for example, could read my entries? Now that would be useful. He’s more effective in keeping Nerys up to date with things than I am.
Well, I think if he implemented OpenID on his site, then he could do.
