I have been working on integrating Facebook Connect into a corporate website I’ve been working on (yeah i’s not the traditional corporate website). In the very early stage of the project openId was considered and then along came Facebook Connect. As much as I like the idea behind openId theory takes second seat to actual practice. Facebook Connect full fills a lot of the compelling theories openId put forward but with an api that is easy to use and consistent. It’s ubiquity in such a short space of time after release speaks to its virtues and as much as I like the open approach, Facebook nailed it. Still routing for ya openId hope you do better.
