Promoting OpenID

[Chris Messina]

I thought it was interesting to discover this:

On the one hand, this is interesting from a marketing perspective, and
I think we need more education materials and demonstrations of how
this technology can be used.

On the other, I personally think selling to the enterprise is nearly
impossible without tons of grassroots adoption (think: Firefox) who
will their feet to the fire, at which point, we can tell them that we
have a bucket of water called OpenID that they can implement to
alleviate the burn.

But that's just how I roll. :)
