Google Tech Talk on OpenID
Had the pleasure to present the concept user-centric identity management and the technology of OpenID to the fine people of Google in Zürich. The idea of OpenID was well received followed by an interesting discussion on privacy and phishing. Download the slide set as PDF (550 KB)
All links mentioned on: del.icio.us/keepthebyte/openid
Note: This isn't an endorsement by Google of OpenID, they have people come in and talk about all kinds of technologies that they may/may not ever deploy.
Great looking presentation!

I talked to the Blogger team about OpenID a couple years ago, back before OpenID barely existed. I think we'd just gotten a logo.... :)
But yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

I'm interested in knowing more about the "interesting discussion on privacy".
Any chance you'll write a post?

The fact that the OpenID provider have a lot of information about the user (profile + list of sites authenticated) would provide Google with even more private information about the user (let's say they would offer each user an OpenID). From what I can tell - Google is serious about user privacy (also read: www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-and-privacy/) - and this fact caused a debate how to minimize user data. The outcome was that the user has to trust it's identity provider (with OpenID the user actually has a choice!) - and if a user would choose Google as preferred OpenID provider - he/she needs to trust Google.
