>Without that there is no way OpenID can compete with Facebook Connect and other new standards.

And those "other new standards" would be?

Where do we start to help? Ownership of our identities online is very important, and should be an open standard... We should not be locked into or somehow limited by a for-profit company.

What would happen to someone if they got kicked from facebook for breaching terms and conditions, and they relied on that user details to log-in to other sites? Stuck then I guess.

FaceBook is doing anything to get market share currently IMO. We'll see what happens...

Your premise is flawed, as Google Friend Connect supports OpenID as a login method. I can log into this blog using OpenID via GFC.
OpenID combined with OAuth, PortableContacts and OpenSocial APIs are the Open Stack foundations that Friend Connect is built atop.

OpenID is d00med.

The whole reason why webmasters would be interested in federated identity systems is because they could get a higher participation rate then they would get from a normal log-in process.

With FB Connect, you can tell people what to do, they do it, then they are logged in. With OpenID you end up giving people so many choices that they'll be overwhelmed. By the time they figure out what to do, they'll have forgotten that they wanted to participate on your site.

OpenID has been a dangerous diversion for companies such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft -- all of them have had the opportunity to build a usable system that users can actually use, but they blew it.

I can see OpenID having a place in the "enterprise" market where employees at Company A can log into services provided by Company B using company A's infrastructure. However, GFC and other systems based on OpenID are going to be quickly eclipsed by Facebook connect unless they turn 180 degrees and realize that OpenID provides a user interface that most users would find irrelevant and oppressive.

It is not a big secret that Face Book is currently getting its market share on the internet.

The problem with that model, or so says the Open ID supporters, is that the individuals don’t get to own their identity. Unfortunately though, most individuals don’t even understand what owning their identity is all about.open id needs to stop organizing meeting and do something otherwise facebook will take over all the internet.
