As a public sign of Unity, I shall be linking from this blog entry to the official OpenID community site.

Here are some details about a nasty bit of URL exploitation which is just plain wrong.

As a public show of unity, I shall link to the OpenID Community Site and not the one doing the exploitation. I did consider linking to the openid.net site using the words openid and org but I fear that's as bad as the original exploitation, so I shall refrain from it.

Finally, if you do require an OpenID, I would wholeheartedly recommended MyOpenID which has also been improved recently to show a log of your recent activities. I can recommend this because it's the one I use.

If you want to research this yourself, take a look at the OpenID Providers on this list.
