<p>First, <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080117/20080117005332.html">Yahoo (and Flickr) will be OpenID 2.0 providers starting 30th this month</a>. Google announced that <a href="http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-feature-blogger-as-openid-provider.html">Blogger is now working a provider</a> but only if you allow it. I really don&#8217;t know why they are asking people to check that damn checkboxes, maybe because of their enourmous database. There is not a list of trusts you can manage, for now you just can add one. At least they are already consuming openID. I wished I would not need a yahoo account to have my own space at Flickr. But that&#8217;s not for this moment yet.</p>

<p>Microsoft is getting late here. Wouldn&#8217;t they like to have the url id.live.com/alcidesfonseca spread all over the internet?</p>
