MySpace announced they’ll be creating OpenIDs for their users. Although, it’s not full support for OpenID — users can only use their MySpace logins for other sites, but not for signing into MySpace. I’m not sure why they do this, I doubt it’s for any technical or spam-prevention reasons. It seems like a business decision, one that might change in the future.
This might be the tipping point for OpenID. Average MySpace users might not know what OpenID is, but when sites start saying “Sign in with your MySpace account,” people might start noticing. Granted, this might make phishing for MySpace accounts easier, but that was already as easy as catching fish in the frozen food section at the grocery store. 😀
