Six Apart’s David Recordon, co-developer of OpenID, sat down with Oliver Lindberg to discuss his vision for the open web. The web is becoming more social and Recordon emphasizes that critical build-outs must enable users to interact between multiple sites without asking them to recreate accounts requiring repetitive data and tasks. OpenID enables users to sign in to thousands of online services with the same digital identity, which ultimately means users can access and share information from across various platforms. With its focus on user experience and usability, as well as benchmarking successful efforts like
Facebook Connect, OpenID is carving a path toward mainstream technology by engaging major stakeholders like Microsoft and Google. A few months ago Recordan announced the Open Web Foundation, whose initial goal is to create open specifications for the web that anyone can implement for free.
