I don’t think that more providers are a good idea, I signed up for one a couple of weeks ago, then realized I already had one associated with my LiveJournal account. Doh!
Now I have another one associated with my my WordPress blog?
“One Account to rule them all” is a great concept, but now I have 3 that I can use, two of them without any participation on my part.
Less “Providers” and more sites that actually allow you to use your LiveID is the way to go.
Also, it would be nice to see the sites that allow LiveID give more prominence to this service on their front pages.
I know Digg declared themselves for this scheme a couple of weeks ago, anyone know if they have implemented it yet?

I am wondering if this kind of an OpenID is arriving on the scene a little too late.
I signed up for an OpenID before realizing that I already had one via my LiveJournal account, now I have one I can use from WordPress as well?
There isn’t really a need for more providers of Open ID, just more sites allowing people to sign in with them. I also would like to see clearer indication on the home pages of sites that they support this service.
“One ID to rule them all” is a nice concept, but with OpenID I already have three, and if more sites I use sign up as providers I could end up with a plethora of them.
