With a directed identity I can log into a OpenID consumer with the URL yahoo.com. Yahoo (or now MS?) and the consumer will then together decide who I am, what my ACTUAL openid is (whatever long and unrememberable name) and then log me in. This kind of OpenID model is vry flexible for the simple users who dont use their own website as their OpenID.

OpenID is such a great and convenient new technology.. glad it's finally getting the recognition it deserves. The one thing that I think still needs to be proved to the community is security. Is using one set of login crudentials secure? Will there be more robust password conventions and backup security measures? I also love that with a few lines of code, I can make my own domain into an OpenID url.. great! -Jeffrey Nice..

Since mine looks like this: "https://me.yahoo.com/namegoeshere" I feel it's not fair for you to judge Yahoo!'s offering on your inability to look RIGHT BELOW the long URL and use a customized version provided for you.

Wel erg jammer om te zien dat Yahoo! het principe van OpenID; "een simpele URL, voor alle je logins." Vertaald naar een onmogelijk te onthouden URL Goeie zet van Yahoo!
