I think once the pieces of the open stack start coming together the value will keep growing and OpenID will spread organically and adaptation will come naturally

i totally agree and looking at it this way answers a lot of the previous questions in my opinion

@david thanks. your assumptions are probably right, even though you don't know the event. the event is for the general public, held in Providence, RI, publicized mostly by word-of-mouth to friends and family of organizers (newbcamp.com).

This is like credit cards. You have to have merchants that accept the card, before you can conduct a transaction. Alternative payments (mobile and NFC, online) face the same challenge today: user adoption vs. merchant adoption. What comes first?

ok, that is fair

if FB does the same -- or screws developers, you might see a revolt

...and it was, until they neglected their product

I think people at MSFT would have said the same thing a few years ago with IE ('it's good to be king')

chris.messina said:

it's good to be king

chris.messina said:

why hasn't the UK adopted the Euro?

chris.messina said:

it's business

chris.messina said:

i wouldn't call it an abuse

chris.messina said:

i think it's too soon to tell

Sean Ammirati said:

you don't think FB connect is an abuse of power?

chris.messina said:

Jan 19, 07:15 PM (GMT -05:00)

it's only when you abuse your monopoly status that people will go after you

chris.messina said:

Jan 19, 07:15 PM (GMT -05:00)

but again, for most people, they love google

chris.messina said:

i guess you could make the point about google and search...

chris.messina said:

and when you have a monopoly desktop player, it's more visceral

chris.messina said:

when it's the desktop it's different

Sean Ammirati said:

interesting - think you would have said the same thing about Google a year or two ago

chris.messina said:

firefox was a proxy for anger against MSFT

chris.messina said:

(and you couldn't opt-out)

chris.messina said:

IE was not opt-in

chris.messina said:

people can opt-in to using facebook today

chris.messina said:

people don't really hate Facebook that much.
