Holy Zeitgeist, Batman!
Lance’s post about OpenID was the first time I’d ever heard of it (I should be reading TechCrunch, but I haven’t developed the habit yet). Man, how word gets around! Now it seems like I can’t go anywhere without tripping over OpenID.
OpenID is one of those Internet Things that has to get big before it can get big. A blog firestorm like this is just what a little spec needs to overcome the inertia of the Network. John Udell famously said that what’s remarkable about blogging is that it creates a globe-spanning neural network that spontaneously promotes ideas for further transmission. Sites like http://technorati.com are the functional MRI of this new brain.
So this blog entry is my humble contribution to the sum of the activation potentials for the OpenID idea (do I have to say “meme� to be a real blogger?). Go forth and multiply, little guy.
