Digg to Use Open ID
Digg the catalyst of change in the user driven news segment of the internet has just announced that they will start supporting OpenID in the near future, "later this year" to be precise.
After Microsoft and AOL also announced their support for the system I think things are beginning to roll in the direction of one login to rule them all (pun intended).
What OpenID does is basically give you one login to use across all websites that support it. I had no idea that something like this existed when I wrote about a similar idea in my Open Source category.

[...] Open ID is making headlines all over the blogosphere, but what exactly is it and how will it help you? If you check out openid.net, you’ll see their definition: OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. In English, Open ID is a free, cross-platform way to authenticate a person’s online identity. Cross platform? Yeah – the same ID for all services that support it. In Plain English, Open ID will make signing up for services on the Internet easier because you will only have one name to remember. [...]
Nice! OpenID should get more popular. In fact, it would make the purpose of sites like BanMeNot obsolete.
