[OpenID] “OpenID” selected as the 3rd runner up in the 2008 IT Buzz Words in Japan.

[Nat Sakimura]

On Dec. 22, Tokyo IT Newspaper published this year's buzz word ranking. (
http://itnp.net/category_betsu/24/2167/)

The ranking is done in Sumo Ranking style and they are Ranked as "Yokozuna
(Grand Champion)", "Ozeki (Champion, 2nd highest rank)", "Sekiwake (Junior
Champion, 3rd highest rank)" etc.

This year, Yokozuna was iPhone, which was no surprise since it was the first
year in Japan. Ozeki was Google Street View, which is no surprise either.

What surprised me though was the 3rd highest rank, Sekiwake, which turned
out to be OpenID. It ranked higher than NetBooks (eePCs etc.) or Google
Chrome, etc.

Anyhow, it is good to hear something that is assuring of our marketing
activity.
