AOL and OpenID

John spilled the beans so I will too. AOL is doing OpenID! AOL is currently an identity provider (meaning you can log in on third-party openid-enabled sites using your spanking new OpenID URL, for example: http://openid.aol.com/kplawver), and we're working on accepting OpenID logins on AOL products, but that's going to take some time. See John's post for all the details.

This is really exciting for me. It's another sign of us opening up, supporting emerging standards and trying new things. It means I won't be all alone next month when we launch the super-secret Rails project, which will accept OpenID logins.

Now, back to work so we can launch this thing on time and I can tell you all about it.

I'm sorry, but to combat comment spam, I had to resort to "hiding" the url to my comment script with javascript. I apologize.

You can use Textile formatting in your comments (but no HTML). Here's a quick cheatsheet:

Bold text: *this will be bold*. but this isn't.
Italics: _this will be in italics_, this won't.
Links: "link text":http://url.com
If you know the rest, go for it.

This tickles my funny bone, though it kind of scares Kevin: »
