If Facebook does become standard and so can muscle people into joining, that would suddenly give Microsoft more search power. I too would like to see how it pans out. :) This becomes all the more interesting in light of Microsoft introducing live search into Facebook.

In many ways, if this works well then it makes the situation difficult; many less technologically literate people will find it useful that they can use their FB details on other sites, which encourages the idea to flourish in the mainstream but if you're not on Facebook, will this actually either force you to use Facebook in order to have an identity in this sense or present a segregated identity market? I'd like to see how this one pans out!

The problem is not many people are willing to use openid, (maybe it coz of ignorance)or is it that it has not been marketed properly. What are your thoughts on possible passing on of info and profiles of users to third party marketers, what controls should be there, if any?
