Yes, a Huge Win for OpenID

Hats off to Yahoo for throwing its hat into the OpenID ring. Techcrunch's description is of course accurate - it's a huge win for the OpenID concept.

Time was, to help your website users get logged in more easily with their most memorable accounts (Yahoo and Google for starters), your company would have to get acquired by Yahoo or Google! I know as a user I like the convenience of knowing that I can get into Flickr wherever I am (by logging in with my Yahoo ID) without having to rely on any fancy password remembering methods.

Life should get a little easier for users and the owners of membership sites. Score one for the ecosystem.
