Would someone mind pointing me to or forwarding me the discussion that explains "even if built on Google's app engine by a Google employee, this is not Google support for OpenID"?<br><br>I'm confused and curious and want to get caught up.</blockquote>
<div><br>Well, it's quite simple. The OpenID provider (<a href="http://openid-provider.appspot.com/">http://openid-provider.appspot.com/</a>) is built on Google's AppEngine (<a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/">http://code.google.com/appengine/</a>). The guy who built it is a Google employee, Ryan Barrett (<a href="http://snarfed.org/">http://snarfed.org/</a>). However the OpenID provider is not an official Google product.<br>
<br>The only official Google product currently supporting OpenID is blogging platform Blogger.</div></div><br clear="all">Carsten<br>-- <br><a href="http://www.notsorelevant.com">http://www.notsorelevant.com</a><br><a href="http://spreadopenid.org">http://spreadopenid.org</a>
