The original OpenID, where my identity was a URL that wasn't a website, and wasn't my email address, was never easy to explain.
- WorldMaker 9y agoOpenID was built for the world where everyone had a blog, so everyone had at least one URL that was a website that they controlled that was also their OpenID. It was easy to explain in that world. That world barely existed, and now is long gone, for better/worse.
