Hi Paul,<br><br>thanks for all the effort you´ve been putting in testing <a href="http://openiddirectory.com">openiddirectory.com</a>.<br><br>First of all: <a href="http://protectnetwork.org">protectnetwork.org</a> was missing in the section "OpenID Providers" - I´ve changed this :).
<br><br>Second - to put the registration process right: Until today me and my team have done all the registrations. From now on we hope for YOUR support :). I have to admit that we should have tested all sites one more time, closer to the launch date. Anyway we have to face the problem of sites changing without prior notice.

http://www.placeengine.com</a> are typical candidates, I think. I´ve deleted them from the OpenID Directory.<br><br><a href="http://www.phixr.com">http://www.phixr.com</a> claims to have OpenID login, but does not. <a href="http://www.suppressionlist.com">
http://www.suppressionlist.com</a> is simply not working. Stuffopolis worked with my OpenID from <a href="http://myopenid.com">myopenid.com</a>.<br><br>All we can say is that the whole OpenID topic is still pretty much experimental - at least concerning the sites that try to implement this technically. It may happen more often that OpenID logins appear or disappear in this early stage of development. As the directory grows, the only chance to keep on track is relying on people like you, giving us rapid feedback.
<br><br>Another reason for the problems you noticed seems to be the weak focus most sites have on a working OpenID login. Some even request redundant data, that´s right. But should we kick them out of the directory or should we better mail them a request to solve their problems?
<br><br>We all know that there´s still a long way to go ...<br><br>Thomas<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/2/8, Paul Madsen <<a href="mailto:paulmadsen@rogers.com">paulmadsen@rogers.com</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Thomas, I tested some of the sites, the results<br>(<a href="http://connectid.blogspot.com/2007/02/sampling-openid-rps.html">http://connectid.blogspot.com/2007/02/sampling-openid-rps.html</a>)<br>suggests that you might want to consider an alternative to
<br>self-registration. :-)<br><br>regards<br><br>paul<br><br>Thomas Huhn wrote:<br>><br>> Even if this mailing list seems to be more technology orientated, I<br>> think it´s a "must" to also think about promoting OpenID, making it
<br>> more attractive for users and rising the pressure on site owners to<br>> implement this technology.<br>><br>> Me and my team startet gathering links of blogs, wikis, online tools<br>> and social software that are already OpenID enabled some time ago. The
<br>> results were published today at <a href="http://openiddirectory.com">http://openiddirectory.com</a><br>> <<a href="http://openiddirectory.com/">http://openiddirectory.com/</a>>, a simple link site in a good old Yahoo
<br>> tradition, brushed up with some Ajax. I hope that finding everything<br>> OpenID enabled in one place and demonstrating how many sites are<br>> already using it, will make it easier to convince people of this new
<br>> technology.<br>><br>> I look forward to see this directory grow. By now we have registered<br>> 120 sites. For sure there are still a lot of sites out there we didn´t<br>> find. So please submit these links - it´s free, quick and easy.
<br>><br>> If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Also if<br>> you are the owner of one of the already listed sites and you are not<br>> satisfied with something like category or description, just drop me a
