Chris had a few thoughts on it. http://chrs.me.uk/?p=29 I remember at the time thinking - What does this provide me that having firefox remember passwords doesn't? You still have to have an account on every site you currently log in to, it is just that you link that account to an openid provider instead of giving it a password. To play around I used the verisign openid service at https://pip.verisignlabs.com/ I also looked at sxipper from http://www.sxip.com/sxipper but had much the same feelings about it.
