The rumor last week was that Google (as well as Verisign and IBM) were mulling over the idea of joining the OpenID 2.0 single sign-on framework. But the real news comes today, as Yahoo and its roughly 250 million user IDs officially jump on the bandwagon. Today, there are only approximately 120 million valid OpenID accounts. In one move, Yahoo more than triples that number.
This is great news for us. 360 Million users (theoretically) can now join our site with a login and password they already have. Many users don’t join dating sites because they don’t want to go through the hassle of signing up or giving up a bunch of personal information and a credit card number.
The beauty of openID, opensocial, etc, is that they are tied into your social grid, so even without a credit card credibility becomes a much easier thing to judge. How you ask? Well friends for one thing, if you have little to no friends in your social graph then you are most likely a spammer or scammer.
We’re really in a great spot right now, as we’re about a month away from launching with these features in tact and ready to rip. I don’t know of any other dating site that can say that. OpenID, opensocial, facebook… we’re ready to rock!!! Are you?!?!!
