Module 1 Topic 2

Open ID seems a great idea for training exercises like these, and Web 2.0. I was aware that OpenID was occurring between some sites during Web 2.0 exercises, and wondered what was behind it.

People who use social networking and who join up to new sites regularly would find OpenID simplifies access and would be useful. However I would not use if for banking or webmail or other sites where a high degree of security is desirable.

Many library patrons have trouble with their passwords and pin numbers. It would be good to suggest a simple solution that didn't take long to explain. Maybe a leaflet outlining the pros and cons of OpenID with links to explanatory websites would be helpful to some or our patrons.
