[Marketing] Bullet points in the OpenID core message...

[Bill Washburn]

Hey,

In the spirit of attempting to get the core message discussion going here
are a couple of things...

First, a good friend of mine suggested that we really ought to focus on such
basic thinking as:

One-click sign up
One-click sign in
OpenID - One-click quick

Also, I saw this blog post this morning which gets to the point:

Can OpenID hurry up
already?<http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/user-ids.html>
 Trying to register for web access to my health insurance account, I'm
greeted with the following restriction:

Please select a User ID that is between 6 and 20 characters long using
numbers and letters. It must contain at least one number and one character.
You cannot consecutively repeat a character or number more than twice. Eg.
AAA12345 is not allowed.

Yes, on this site my username has to have a number in it. As I remarked a
long time ago <http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/signonLimits.html> my
real problem with web logins isn't remembering my password, it's my
username. Every site has different restrictions, the names have to be
unique, it's a total pain.

I'm completely ready for Internet single signon. OpenID
<http://openid.net/>is looking great but adoption is very slow. I'm
willing to trust a big
company like Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, even my ISP to maintain my identity.
Can we do it now please?
