Ma.gnolia Blog: OpenID is taking off!

January 23, 2007 in Identity, JanRain, Ma.gnolia, OpenID, Zooomr by kveton

I’m really excited to hear that Ma.gnolia.com is having such great luck with OpenID. They have been one of the early adopters of this technology and its paying off:

So far, over 15% of new Ma.gnolia members are seeing the advantage and getting their OpenID when they join Ma.gnolia. Considering how new OpenID is, and that it takes a bit of un-learning of old sign-in habits, we’re really delighted to see this adoption rate.

Chris introduced Larry and I a few months ago and gave me a chance to give him an earful about how great OpenID was. It didn’t take them long to get it working on their site once they figured out some of the tricks of the trade. I was really excited that Ma.gnolia decided to become an affiliate as well!

Its sites like Ma.gnolia and Zooomr that are really great showcases for OpenID and the potential is holds.
