Ideally you'd never have to register for another site again. Any site (big or small) would like this. Cons: increased liability for delivering identity for their users to other sites. How can they trust those sites? Lack of "control" of users is another one. I think most sites are realizing however that they don't "own" users, they build a relationship and continue to build better and better services for those users.

Wie ich eben gelesen habe, hat AOL heute einen großen Schritt nach vorn in dieser Richtung gemacht und untersützt nun OpenID für alle AOL und AIM Nutzer (http://openid.aol.com/screenname.). Theoretisch bietet OpenID zumindest eine einfache Verwaltung/ individuelle Freigabe von persönliche Informationen - ein wichtiger Baustein auf dem Weg zu mehr Interoperabilität zwischen Services. Ein Beispiel: Niemand möchte wohl seine Kreditkartendaten jedermann zugänglich. Ich fände es aber praktisch, wenn ich diese Daten beim Online-Shoppen nicht bei jedem Shop neu eingeben müsste, wenn es eine sichere Möglichkeit gäbe,sie dem Shop einfach mitzuteilen. Genau so bertötetnd ist es, bei jeder Neuregistrierung bei einem Dienst, immer wieder die gleichen Personendaten eingeben zu müssen. Eine Lösung versprechen Identity Services wie OpenID. Soziale Netzwerke werden damit leider aber nicht portierbar. [...] […] Volkmar Breindel hat kürzlich über die Interoperabilität von Nutzerdaten geschrieben.

There should be a simple page setup somewhere that collects all of these massive userbase-turned-providers. This way, openid enabled sites can point to it for potential users who may not know they already have an openid. I just threw a quick one liner into the drupal openid module for one of our sites that says "You may already have an OpenID. AOL/AIM users use http://openid.aol.com/screenname" but this list is likely to grow and be dynamic. Just linking to such a list would be better. Cheers! So, just a suggestion..
