I had a year-old post on multiple identity crisis and the collective wasted time of humans in filling registration data for each and every web 2.0 avenue. Add them the ineligible password phrases and global science and technology loses thousands of hours of brain activity. OpenID is the solution to preserve those hours, brain activity and also the efforts to recall the username/password combination for every website we have our digital personality. And it is more than that also…

I won’t get deep into details of OpenID, as the group explains themselves so clearly here. Instead, I will just share my joy as I just heard Nasdaq moguls Microsoft, Yahoo, VeriSign, Google and blue chip IBM started to collaborate with OpenID. Whatever their real intents are, I see this as a big move to make the web as a far more efficient, smooth-running place. The evil plans? I guess we will see in a short time as they got their seats in OpenID board.
