I just never understood how the hell it worked. 1) I would go to a website, it would ask me to register or sign in with "OpenID". It would tell me a little bit about OpenID "Yahoo, ___, and ___ are OpenID providers. If you have a Yahoo ID then you have an Open ID". 2) WTF is the point of an OpenID then?! If I could just sign in with a Yahoo account I thought... 3) I try to sign in with my Yahoo ID like it said. It fails every time. WTF. 4) I go back to Yahoo to GET an OpenID. It tells me I already have one. I try to get one from other "providers" and somewhere along the way I always get misdirected or the sign up / registration process just fails and I just get sick of the whole OpenID-Mind-Game and sign in with my facebook account. After 3 or 4 mind games I became extremely frustrated and soulfully HATED OpenID. It was all over the place, I didn't get it. It couldn't work for me. So I felt like it was a feature I was not allowed to have. Just thinking of the OpenID logo and name evokes feelings of annoyance. So the brand is trashed is what I'm saying.
