You really have to be behind the times to still be advocating OpenID. Technology is made up of alternatives, and one wins. No matter how much you love something

You really have to be behind the times to still be advocating OpenID. Technology is made up of alternatives, and one wins. No matter how much you love something, if it's dead, it's dead, now move on.
Every hyped technological product has a a short window in which to dominate, and if it does not, it will remain confined to a nice. That's the case with OpenID. It's over, the battle is lost. Same goes for RSS, DRMed music, Django, etc.
The coding horror guys made a poor technological decision. Instead of just giving up, they are doubling down on it. That's not very clever.

- mcantor 16y agoHuh? I'm confused. I still log in to all sorts of places with my Google account, including Hacker News. And... RSS is dead? Django is dead? I'm getting the sinking feeling that I'm being trolled right now, but... Source?
