Recently,
AOL and
Microsoft signed on in support of Open ID. Now social news juggernaut
Digg has announced plans to join the party, declaring it will adopt the decentralized digital identity platform later this year. Digg founder Kevin Rose made the announcement earlier this week at the Future of Web Apps conference in
London.
OpenID is a system that allows you to have one username and password for every site you visit. That username and password is actually a secure personal URL that stores your personal information and allows you to control what information you share with websites. Other services that have announced their adoption of OpenID include Yahoo, Wikipedia, and LiveJournal.
