Telegraph to Become OpenID Provider

Telegraph.co.uk communities editor and technology blogger Shane Richmond reveals in a January 21, 2008, post that, "The Telegraph will soon become the first newspaper in the world, and the first British media company, to become an OpenID provider. Readers will be able to begin using the service from the end of February,"he wrote.
.

Richmond said, "OpenID is a decentralised registration system that will offer enormous benefits to our users. Once you have an OpenID login you can use it at any of the supporting services, including AOL, Orange, Digg and Blogger. Having to remember fewer passwords is clearly a very good thing."

As Wikipedia notes, "OpenID is increasingly gaining adoption among large sites, with organizations like Yahoo, AOL and Orange acting as a provider. In addition, integrated OpenID support has been made a high priority in Firefox 3^[1] and OpenID can be used with Windows CardSpace."
