Re: "Log in with Facebook"
Did OpenID bite the dust?
It's still around, but almost no web sites are supporting it anymore. End users simply didn't understand it. I wrote some code for a web server that supported OpenID login, and I also included buttons that would use Google, Yahoo, etc. as OpenID providers -- people used *those* without even knowing that they were using OpenID. Unfortunately, almost no one pasted in their own OpenID, and all of the big services (including Google) eventually shut down their OpenID identity providers.
Silicon Valley giants do not like open standards when the alternative is something they control.
