New feature: OpenID commenting

Blogger in Draft now lets you enable OpenID-based commenting, in your blogs' Settings | Comments tab:


(OpenID comments work in both the Anyone and Registered Users modes)

This means that users of OpenID-enabled services — such as LiveJournal and WordPress — can comment on your blog using their accounts from those sites, rather than with Blogger/Google accounts:

For example, if you see an OpenID comment with the URL http://brad.livejournal.com/, you'll know that it was Brad who wrote that comment, and not an impostor.

This feature is in Draft because we'd like to hear feedback about the implementation, and to test it further before moving it to Blogger's main site. We're also working on functionality to let Blogger's URLs (both Blog*Spot and custom domains) be used for commenting elsewhere on the web.

Let us know how this is working for you in the comments below.

Update, 12/3: We recommend Sam Ruby's OpenID for non-SuperUsers, which explains how to set up OpenID delegation. Delegation is a way for you to use your own URL for OpenID, but still sign in with AOL, LiveJournal, etc.

Excellent news. Well done everyone at the Google Team making such good things happen.

oo nice

I just installed OpenID on my site, so this is a double-test. :)

Oh, hey, a blank user-agent. Any chance you could put something in there? :)

cowsandmilk said...

I love openid

www said...

What? "www" is a totally awesome screen name! :P

openid said...

I'm using a personal OpenID! Works!

Спасибо

wild!

sethop said...

Cool, I've been waiting for this!

But do you think you still need the word verification for OpenID comments? In theory that bit belongs on the user login side of things?

Hey, I initially tried using my usual OpenID which is sethop.com and it failed - possibly because I'm using a delegated openid provider?

i'd like to see this on my blogger hosted blog but without the captcha

Works great!

Khürt Williams said...

I would like see OpenID supported more among the blogging services. I have blogs are Wordpress.com and Blogger. It sucks when I find a Blogger hosted blog I want to comment on but first I have to login into Blogger. My comment then links back to my Blogger account which is not my main blog.

Glad to see this... I'm sure the folks at WordPress.com are watching...

Really very nice! Thanks!
Try to implement Blogger in as much services, as possible!
Thanks again :)

jamesdkirk said...

Even though there are challenges with the security concepts behind openID, they'll get dealt with eventually. Heck, I can't even tell you how many "security updates" get applied automatically to my Windows install...

Great to see a major platform pushing openID forward. Great job!

Cheers to the Blogger team for this one!

At this rate, I am never leaving blogger for any alternative!

Unless I decide to host my own blog on my server of course...but then again, if Google wants to pay for it on my domain, why leave?

mart said...

I'm going to join the barrage of people posting just to test it. :)

pierre said...

really cool !
it's working for orange.fr user too (openid.orange.fr)
Si vous etes clients Orange vous pouvez vous creer un compte openid sur http://openid.orange.fr

It's great to see all of these comments (and all of the different OpenIDs....). I'll be at the Internet Identity Workshop next week to chat about this and other issues.

Works for me!

Boris said...

Could not resist -- wonderful!

Matt said...

Very cool! One request: Capitalize the P in WordPress.

(We should do something like this.)

josephholsten said...

Now we simply need a google OP, (blogger? orkut? gooid.com?) so all google accounts work on other OpenID RPs

bobwyman said...

This is excellent!

gaurav.kanoongo said...

Wow, It's great. I wish Google enable OpenID support across all of it's services.

dwaite said...

Awesome! (ok, really just a reason to test OpenID)

david said...

Is there a way to 'log in' using OpenID, so I don't need to choose everytime?

duck1123 said...

Will blogger validate the OpenID if anonymous comments are on and the commenter enters a URL that is OpenID-enabled?

Also, does it support delegated identities? I can't seem to comment with my OpenID, but I can with the one it delegates to.

Esaj said...

Cool tapes!

Mike Goad said...

So what happened to the ability to sign in using your name and URL on Blogger? (Not Blogger-in-Draft, but the currently on line, out-in-the-world Blogger) I comment on a lot of blogs and I'm getting to the point where I cringe every time I want to comment on a blog that's on blogger.

emer77 said...

Please, other google sites too!

Sweet. This is such a good idea. I love OpenID

Ooh Ooh Ooh OpenID!

Nico said...

I tested with some of my openids:
1) direct openid is working (let's say myname.myopenid.com)

2) delegation is not working (let's say www.mydomain.net/myname delegated to myname.myopenid.com server)

3) redirect is not working (myname.mydomain.net redirection to www.mydomain.net/myname delegated to myname.myopenid.com server)

anyone?

Vaclav Synacek said...

Very good news for OpenID!

ruiabreuferreira said...

Been waiting for this for ages, now! OpenID is great.

Katoh said...

Now mabye OpenID will see a wider userbase, it just needs to be used in more Google Apps. (You guys need to support the 2.0 spec)

Ken said...

Wow. This is a great idea!

yktdan said...

See if this works with my openid

Walt said...

try again with another openid

D. Moonfire said...

I really think that OpenID is a great way to go. I don't have a blogger blog myself, but the only reason I have an account is simply to post, so having OpenID would let me use my real id and simplify the number of places I need to remember a logon. :)

Oh, and maybe someplace to have emails sent to. If that is possible.

Universal electronic ID takes another step toward reality.

Like nico, I was unable to get delegation to work (e.g. the link tags in my web page (identityblog) pointing to my openid provider.

Is the problem at your end or with myopenid.com?

Congratulations to the Blogger team! Now I'll start leaving comments on Blogger blogs!

Is this openid 1.1 or 2.0?

www said...

Trying to debug my referal problem

www said...

If someone wants to know how to get redirection, my page now works.

www said...

If people use a url like I do, the www part isn't very informative. I would recommend you show more of the url.

zizukabi said...

I would like to suggest you that anyone have not google account or openid can comment with his own url but now that method can't seen in comment block. Only listed service account can comment at this time.

Boris said...

Since "http://openid.aol.com/'name'@mac.com are" the openids for every ".mac" user: It would be nice to have a ".mac" scheme in the sign in drop down box.

nimitzx said...

Nice

OpenID 2.0 support seems to be broken. XRIs don't work either as normal or with xri:// prefix.
