OpenID is still very much a work in progress. To be honest, I haven't made the leap to start using myself, mostly because I don't trust any of the OpenID providers (no, not even Google). And I really want to see it merged with OAuth. In the end, I want to provide my own ID, but we've been drifting toward branded IDs, which has its good points and bad points. This post links to Jeff Atwood's overview of OpenID on Stack Overflow. And while OpenID isn't perfect, as Atwood says, "I would rather be part of the solution than yet another brick in the wall of the problem… even if it involves a tiny bit of short-term friction."
