A 100 million users can't be wrong


63M of those are AOL users: http://dev.aol.com/aol-and-63-million-openids

Those OpenIds were created automatically. What percentage of those AOL users do you think even know what OpenId is?


You don't need to know the name of something to use it. I think OpenId is going to become like an email address.


This claim is quite misleading. How many of those 100 million users are actually using OpenID? I suspect a majority of those are AOL accounts. Is AOL actively promoting OpenID among its users?

UPDATE: I just noticed kmt (post above) asked the same question, sorry for the double comment.
