Awesome. OpenID needs way more consumers and not so many providers.

yeah, I was surprised to find that Vox doesn't support OpenID as a consumer, just a provider.

You shouldn't be - I think that TypePad, Six Apart's blogging site, is also only a provider and not a consumer. In fact, LiveJournal is the only blogging service that I can think of that's an OpenID consumer. (Since anonymous comments are now disabled by default on new journals, and OpenID comments count as anonymous, even here I think you have to have a local account to leave comments on recently created journals unless the journal owner has changed the settings. Given the spam issues, I doubt many do.)

workin' on it. we definitely intend to add in consumer support on all our stuff -- it's in Movable Type already.

hello, brad!

For what it's worth, when I signed up for OpenID and began looking for consumers, I had no idea you originated the thing, or even that my LJ account was a provider.

I bought in to the concept completely independently of LJ or you.

You should be equally proud to know that RateAustin is also OpenID enabled.

hopefully this is a stepping stone to gmail accounts

then hopefully I get to use my personality to purchase things and reveal what I wish to these "shops" allowing me convenience and security

Brad u r an example in more ways than three.
