I guess this idea visits heads of many people out there.  During the last couple of days I added few more blogs on my blogroll and started to think more about this problem.<\/p>\n<p>My thinking was in the direction of some <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> service.  At least in the beginning.  Something along the lines of <a href=\"http:\/\/blogsoftheday.com\/\">Blogs Of The Day<\/a>.  Some services, say Blog Passport or something like that, that could be used by all those <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> intallations to authenticate visitors.  Basically, the even the same database table from <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> could be used as a base.  A person would login to at Blog Passport and than visit any <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> installation and at any site that would support the scheme he would appear as logged in user.<\/p>\n<p>But all I did was thinking.  I didn&#8217;t even investigate if there are any existing solutions.  The good thing is that I didn&#8217;t write any code.  Because today I stumbled upon something that would be acceptable &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/openid.net\/\">OpenID<\/a>.  I first saw it at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\">LiveJournal.com<\/a>.  It already supports it.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of an <a href=\"http:\/\/openid.net\/\">OpenID<\/a> is simple. It is even simplier that what I was thinking.  It is a distributed system that authenticates against a URL.  You can be logged in at any website that supports OpenID and than any other site that supports OpenID would work for you .  The description of the process, the protocol, and the development status are all at the <a href=\"http:\/\/openid.net\/\">project&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The good things about OpenID so far are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>free and open and intends to stay this way.<\/li>\n<li>decentralized<\/li>\n<li>supported by some big sites (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\">LiveJournal.com<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> plugin is in the works.  I hope that this project will get some attention and that we will finally have one annoying problem solved.
