I'd call that, naturally, multiple personality disorder. But then, if it is post-incremented, we might have a chance ;-)

But seriously, I think I understand the business logic for what has been announced, and that business logic is rather revolutionary.

If Yahoo can apply this business logic, many others will follow the same logic leading to FB (a single-vendor solution).

The questions are:
1. why not OpenID? (and other open standards) [methinks: we don't have our act together]
2. is anybody bothered by that? [methinks: I'm not sure, to be honest]
3. if enough people are bothered enough about it, what are we going to do about it?

Cheers,



Johannes.
