OpenID Foundation Board Adds Google, IBM, Microsoft, Verisign, and Yahoo!
The OpenID Foundation announced its first corporate board members today: Google, IBM, Microsoft, Verisign, and Yahoo!.
The five companies edge OpenID, a system for users to create a single digital identity that travels with them across sites, closer to mainstream adoption.
From the OpenID blog:
Today there are over a quarter of a billion OpenIDs and well over 10,000 websites to accept them. OpenID has grown to be implemented by major open source projects such as Drupal, cornerstone Web 2.0 services such as those by 37signals and Six Apart, as well as a mix of large companies including as Apple, Google, and Yahoo!.
The announcement comes on the heels of last weekend's Social Graph FOO Camp, an ad hoc gathering of developers and thinkers interested in ways to map kinds of individual relationships. Organized by leading OpenID thinkers David Recordon and Scott Kveton, the event's discussions suggest everyone can look forward to new ways of porting data and digital identity in the near future.
Find out if you already have an OpenID and how to use your Web site to create your own on the OpenID site.
