What is OpenID? OpenID allows you to use an existing account to sign in to multiple websites, without needing to create new passwords. You may choose to associate information with your OpenID that can be shared with the websites you visit, such as a name or email address. With OpenID, you control how much of that information is shared with the websites you visit. With OpenID, your password is only given to your identity provider, and that provider then confirms your identity to the websites you visit. OpenID is rapidly gaining adoption on the web, with over one billion OpenID enabled user accounts and over 50,000 websites accepting OpenID for logins. Who Owns or Controls OpenID? OpenID was created in the summer of 2005 by an open source community trying to solve a problem that was not easily solved by other existing identity technologies.

But today's forthcoming features are the big ones. To be clear, we don't think Twitter is trying to become Facebook — again, the service defines itself as an information network and not a social network.
