Another approach to OpenID authentication from Mediamatic

[David Christiansen]

I also fell into the 'typical user' trap and clicked through the 'Log In'
dropdown, hit back to the reboot site THEN saw the alternatives. I think
user's (and this includes me I guess ;)) subconsciously don't read a whole
page before deciding what to do - they find the first thing that looks like
it will meet their needs and click! Frankly on first pass I didn't even read
the other red headings - this is not a dig at the site design, but more an
observation on user behaviour.
What I would have done, with the proviso of the use of a cool Accordion, is
display a text link prompt on each 'fold' saying "Did you know..." for
example "Did you know you could also log in using OpenID?" and "Did you know
you could Register?"

This  would catch all those scanning users as they would pick up on the word
OpenID, as it appeared in the same contextual panel as the other text.

All good positive feedback I hope, Great work, nice use of JQuery.
