off topic - how many people use OpenID ?

[Krall, Gary]

Chris:

We at Verisign also run a OpenID server (pip.verisignlabs.com) "and without getting too specific" the numbers we see are between 150 and 250 trust requests/day. 

The issue of market adoption and usage clearly centers squarely on the number of relying parties who have actually implemented the protocol as part of their registration and sign in process.  The number of "enabled" users versus the number of "actual" users is a function of "where can I use it"?  The more relying parties the faster the "enabled" users will become "actual" users.

With the announcement by Symantec/Norton to host their own idP (to Hans's comments earlier) and the Technorati announcement of today will help drive this process.  Getting major players to embrace this technology to become part of the community lexicon is the next step in market adoption and acceptance.

Gary.

Hi Scott,

No - I don't mean how many total users there are of sites that accept
multiple login systems including OpenID - I mean - how many people
are out there actually using OpenID *to* log in to sites.

You guys run myopenid.com don't you?  Did any more than 500 people log
in to places using this site last week?

Kind Regards,
Chris Drake
