<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Speaking personally – it seems to me that leading by example means that the biggest proponents of OpenID should dogfood it. It’s hypocritical to be selling all the benefits of accepting OpenID without actually consuming OpenID. <BR>

We must do MUCH more heavy lifting -- bringing the horses to the trough so-to-speak -- in order to get them to drink. We must develop the language, then, that allows people to express their desires, if not just become aware of them by realizing what's possible (i.e. No more passwords! How? Support OpenID!). We haven't developed, let alone promoted, these memes widely enough yet, so that'd be one area that I think marketing could tackle.<BR>
