[OpenID] An OpenID screencast

[Simon Willison]

Hi all,

I've put together a 6 minute screencast illustrating basic usage of  
OpenID (and deliberately avoiding the details of how it all works -  
this is aimed at end-users). You can see it here:

In my experience, people don't really "get" OpenID until they've seen  
how it lets them log in to a website with a single click. My hope is  
that a screencast will help people get to that "aha" moment a lot  
faster.

I've released it under a Creative Commons Attribution license, so  
it's available for commercial reuse, remixing and so on. You can grab  
the file itself from this page on the Internet Archive:

I'm trying to get the word out as much as possible, so I've submitted  
it to digg[1], del.icio.us, Slashdot and BoingBoing. Please feel free  
to link to it from anywhere that would benefit from a visual  
description of how OpenID works.

Cheers,

Simon Willison
