Bloglines now offers OpenID support
Posted by Bill Gaffney | October 4th, 2007
As of October, Bloglines users can use their login to sign in at other sites that support the OpenID initiative. Although they may be second fiddle to Google Reader, they are still an market leader and a key innovator that aids in elevating the legitimacy of the framework. Although this is a great step forward in the adoption of a standard, its not enough. Marshall Patrick gets it right.
Big companies can announce all day long that they will now let you log in to other sites with their ID - it’s time for them to support OpenID login on their own site using credentials from other vendors. [redwriteweb.com]
The good news is that Bloglines GM Eric Engleman told Marshall that support would be coming in early November. He then also stated that other standards like OAuth and Attention Profiling Mark-up Language are being considered.
