Hey Ya'll!

I am curious here if any of you are considering or already using
OpenID or Windows CardSpace? Does anyone see this being a big deal???
from a users stand point it seems like a big hassle to get started
with it and I'm not sure if it would scare people away or not? any
thoughts

I've been looking at some PHP scripts out there for OpenID... does
anyone have one to recommend???

I have an OpenID, I really don't see the big hoopla about it. I have
two I think, the only places I have seen it is blogs. If you go to
http://MyUsernam.openid.com you get a plain looking openid page. It
says yep he's real, I don't get the point of it otherwise. I use an
OpenID plugin for my wordpress blog...

I have not used this (yet) but the zend framework has support for it:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.openid.html

You don't have to use the whole framework to use this bit, it's designed
to allow you to only use the parts you need.

With a bit of an upcoming rewrite of some of our user handling code, I
fully intend to support OpenID. I really like the idea and want to
promote it as much as possible.

Yeah, after reading some about it yesterday and using it on some
sites, I like that it sort of simplifies some things for the end
user... it really fits sites like social networking stuff well.. I am
considering using this for our ecommerce site, it only becomes useful
though for repeat visitors though... which is what I want to make it
easy& convienent for those repeat customers

thanks for your input guys
