As Mark says though, it's not mainstream and I can't think of a single one of our target audience that wouldn't be confused by typing in a URL at the login screen. I think when we implement it, it will be as an option for those of a more geeky persuasion. I like the Basecamp implementation of OpenID, the way it will link multiple accounts for you.

Folks can then choose a password from the 'live' stream or from stock when Twitter's on the blink. Job done.
