They must have been lost in the dramatic blogging accident I had back in summer. Thanks for noticing! I'll try to get them back soon :) Crap… They must have been lost in the dramatic blogging accident I had back in summer.

I'll check out the site's you mentioned - and keep hoping that more and more services would move to OpenID. Thanks for the information, Jason!

LiveJournal founder Brad Fitzpatrick was the initial creator of OpenID, and once it caught on, the other folks (VeriSign, JanRain, etc.) put their two cents forth and continue to do so. So the obvious answer is that LiveJournal supported it first, with the initial proof-of-concept existing on Danga.com (Brad's company he founded for LiveJournal, IIRC). So, LiveJournal (I don't use DeadJournal, GreatestJournal, etc. so I wouldn't know if/when they came along), Danga, and LifeWiki (the original home of the OpenID wiki) were the first sites to support the auth scheme. I do believe that JanRain jumped in very quickly, and OpenID-ified their "Schtuff" wiki service (which they have since sold to another party), not to mention myOpenID came about very very quickly, probably came out before Schtuff was a consumer. Zooomr implemented OpenID into Mark 2 rather quickly, I was a little late to that game, and it's just ramped up from there. VOX, TypePad, MT4, WP Plugins, etc. Those are the first definitive locations I'm personally aware of. I would use mine at LiveJournal if I didn't have an account already :P. I'm hoping they allow an external OpenID login method soon (so I can login using my LiveJournal account, or via a designated external OpenID). I'm using it on Zooomr, Jyte, Pibb, various blogs, ClaimID and ma.gnolia. And that's just regularily. And I've been eye-balling Plaxo (I'll have to see how it compares to vIdentity. Might be Apples and Oranges, I just haven't had a chance to check it out yet), and ToodleDo. Well.

I have to admit that although I had heard some mentions about OpenID before, I saw OpenID in action in the 37signals apps and have missed the earlier implementations. Just to feed my curiosity, would you happen to remember what were the first sites using OpenID? And where are you using yours currently? :) It would be great to find more places where to use it... Jason, good point!

They only rolled out support this year, while I've been using my OpenID for at least a year (if not a bit longer?) now. In the grand scheme of the number of consumers, yes, 37 Signals will down the road be "among the earliest" of adopters. Not to mention definitely one of the first handfuls of major name adopters (Behind LiveJournal, AOL, VeriSign, Sun and probably a few more notables I'm forgetting). Other than that, good write-up. I thoroughly enjoy reading about any form of support and documentation/detail written to excite and inform visitors.

For me however that isn't a problem, because I don't consider my online habits private anyway. Whenever I log to a new site, I usually use the same username (and often the same password too - shame on me...) as on other sites. I also post my real name everywhere so I guess I don't have any privacy left online anymore. But that's just me. How about the rest of you? Do you want to keep your surfing habits private or are you like me and don't care about privacy that much? That’s a good point, John!

Some marketing & trolling bots would already like to link our activities from one site with those on another. That's the big downside I can think of. Otherwise quite cool!
