The latest feature coming out from Blogger is OpenID commenting. Blogger in draft, the experimental version of the popular blogging platform, Blogger, has just announced that they are now enabling OpenID-based commenting for blogs. OpenID provides users with a single digital identity across mutliple sites eliminating the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying the user experience. Users of OpenID-enabled services such as LiveJournal and WordPress can comment on a blog using their accounts from those sites rather than with a Blogger/Google account. Once released to the larger public, this can be enabled through the “Settings > Comments” in Blogger.

This is a very good development. I think everybody has been waiting for the “breakthrough application” for OpenID. Instead what we are going to see is more of this – gradual adoption via several of the big players who support OpenID.
Thanks to ACORN, the Community Reinvestment Act and its sister organization, the Self Help, Inc. What ACORN wants could hardly be called Self Help – government help at the expense of taxpayers Inc, would be more like it. However, the numerous times that the glaring contradiction in giving everyone a cash advance that wants one by the Federal Government doesn’t do anything to slow Bertha Lewis, head of ACORN down. She is indefatigable in pursuing the establishment of a welfare state, and isn’t interested in getting people to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, the way it used to be done. A day’s pay for a day’s work isn’t what they have in mind, ACORN wants free lunches for everyone but those who have already earned theirs.
