Another approach to OpenID authentication from Mediamatic

[Chris Messina]

I thought this was a very clever approach to OpenID:
http://www.reboot.dk/logon

At first, it doesn't really look like OpenID... but if you pick a site from
the dropdown (i.e. Mediamatic) you'll be redirected to the remote site to
authenticate with a helpful instruction: "After I log in I will return to
Reboot".

I was also miffed at first -- because I was like -- well, I don't have one
of those and I don't want to create another account -- nor can I remember if
I already have one... and then I saw the collapsed option to sign in with
OpenID — phew!

Barring that, you can just join the site as you would any other site.

I like this 3-stage approach... allowing the RP to pick from a list of
partners or preferred OPs but not removing free choice altogether. Should
all that fail, you can still create a local/legacy account.

Anyway, thought it was worth putting out there.

Chris
