Two days back Yahoo announced to provide OpenID to its users (we covered the story here), and now Google Joins up by providing OpenID to to its bloggers, so far the project is declared as an experiment and is not yet ready for public release but clearly shows Google intentions to join up in providing OpenID for its users.

You can now use your blog’s URL as an OpenID URL, or any website that accepts OpenID 1.1 authentications. To enable OpenID for your blogs just edit your profile and enable the check box which says Enable OpenID for blogs .

Things are moving quit fast this year and with the start of 2008 there is an increase in centralizing the control of data. Google users will stick with Google OpenID and Yahoo users with there OpenID so this might be setting up boundaries around the consumers login information and providing them wings to fly around any site they want but then return back to the nest. On the user end OpenID helps them from the pain of “User Registration Forms”, “e-Mail Authentications” & remember the ever growing user name / password lists.

I think this mistake should be labeled as the mistake of the year, and after investigating into it the y2k bug still exists, So the story goes on that i received an e-mail from dreamhost that they have charged me for 120$ for one year hosting / domain charges. Firstly the mail was shock to me as i had already paid dreamhost for the year 2 months back. So immediately logged in my cpanel, checked my billing and unchecked by auto billing system. Although i still wondered as what had happened cause dreamhost can’t bill me without my authorization to the bank. So then i got hold of this story “um, Whoops” (Dreamhost makes a 1.7 million dollar mistake) posted on there official blog that tells that computers dont make all the mistakes but humans does and this time it was a human bugged with a Y2k bug.
