Have been messing around with BrowserID since it first went public last year (with a node.js backend) and I love it. Its so much more straightforward to implement than oauth and openid, and the fact that it's tied to your email address is perfect. I'm definitely going to be using it as my primary auth system going forward. Great job Mozilla!

Do you have examples of sites that don't use Persona as the BrowserID implementation? I'd like to see how sites are handling the user prompt when there are going to be alternative providers to Mozilla's Persona service.

  No since what I do is pretty experimental side projects and fine to just use the persona end of things. Also I don't currently have anything public running right now myself (as it just entered beta so I won't release until v1.0). If you haven't tried it out yet I encourage you to do so...it only took me 30 minutes to get up and running the first time around.

  Doesn't work that way; Mozilla's Persona service just serves as a shim for browsers without native support for BrowserID. On browsers with native support, Mozilla's server won't get involved at all.
