this will be an interesting move by the Blogger Team!!

Could be a sign that eventually Google Accounts will support OpenID, and seeing as Google now allows you to add additional emails to your Google Account, OpenID looks like the next logical step.

>OpenID looks like the next logical step

indeed. just considering what thought must have gone into this one move, there must be more behind it :)

DPic:
Apparently not.

"there must be more behind it :)"

Like what ??

Like you can log into your Yahoo! Mail with your Gmail credentials. /jk

more accounts mess?

Ionut Um. What?

/pd like more plans

Zim OpenID means less account mess because it's one account for all sites that support OpenID instead of having to manage tons of accounts on your own.

Brad Fitzpatrick said he wasn't involved, so this was just some experimental Blogger feature. Besides, all the other blogging platforms supported OpenID.

Ionut Brad may very well have had nothing to do with this but if Google has been in talks with OpenID, they would just be secretive like always. There are just a few issues with OpenID that Google will not adopt OpenID until they are resolved.

I personally find openid annoying, but the concept is nice...

You mean you find the current OpenID providers annoying?

OpenID has graduated from blogger in draft to all of blogger- http://buzz.blogger.com/2007/12/openid-commenting.html
