Thanks Leah, that's more than sufficient for context. Agreed that the most interesting thing here is % of sign ups from other services, this is a great existence proof for the UX story.<div><br></div><div>--<br>John Panzer / Google<br>

Hi John,<br><br>Thanks! I don't think I can give absolute #s... although I know that sign ups via TypePad have remained relatively stable while the number of sign ups via other providers have increased.<br><br>However, it's important to keep in mind that a lot of people sign up for TypePad just to add comments to blog posts or to join a Motion community. I think these are both cases where quick sign up via Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo etc. are appealing to users.<br>
<br>You and Chris are correct that this data isn't only about OpenID.... I lumped both Facebook Connect and Twitter OAuth with OpenID. For the data I needed to collect, I was more interested in sign ups via other services than in OpenID in particular.<br>

This is some good data. Leah, are you at liberty to reveal any absolute #'s in addition to %'s over time (or to provide relative-to-start-of-time-period total change in traffic)? Do the OpenID %'s include Facebook Connect?<div>

In case you missed her post, Leah Culver has provided some very useful data on OpenID-style authentication use at TypePad.<div><br></div><div>The money number? From 8% of all new signups three months ago to 63% in September.</div>
