[OpenID] Weighing In on TechCrunch's "Is OpenID Being Exploited By The Big Internet Companies?"

[Carsten Pötter]

Of course, it would be great if they were relying parties as well (AOL is
already one) but it shouldn't be underestimated that they have become OpenID
board members (well, AOL hasn't). I think that documents that they have more
interest in the technology than just promoting their brand.
