We shall see. I haven’t seen extremely much from that openID thing as of late either, so I’m not sitting on hot coals for this one either. :) The idea is sound tho, no doubt about it.

OpenID is great, I use it everywhere I can. Developers just have to implement it into more applications, but not everyone seems to know about it or are too lazy to implement it. After that people will start using it automatically. It seems Yahoo is implementing it for their services at the moment. That would be great.

Anyway, DataPortability’s goal goes even further than universal authentication.

Completely agree. The idea of OpenID is very, very good. But it isn’t used, so that takes off some of its strength. To be the only one, or one with about 5000 others, just isn’t enough. Yahoo backing it, doesn’t mean it will take off right away. We’ll just see about that.
But the same applies to DataPortability. If no one uses, except you on your blog :), then it’s just not interesting enough for the people, or (which’ll probably be the case anyway) people aren’t ready for such technology ;)

Let’s just force these things upon people. They should listen.
