OpenID has been gaining traction recently with news of Yahoo!, Google, IBM, Verisign and others giving users OpenID accounts. That’s certainly only good news for OpenID. Coincidentally, I recently encountered two more sites that are using OpenID:

1) Blogger comments

I’m not exactly sure how new this is, but I don’t remember an OpenID option being there before. Either way it’s there now. If I didn’t already have a blogger account, I’d most definitely use OpenID here. There’s no need in creating a blogger account if you simply want to comment.

2) Twitter Feeds

I’ve recently started Twittering. This is yet another example of something I thought would be stupid, but has turned out to be pretty cool. Anyway, I’ve been looking at integrating my Twitter account into my Facebook account, my ‘about me’ site, and other places like that. Then I see a Tweet from Scott Hanselman himself telling us about TwitterFeed. Perfect. And look at that: it even supports OpenID. Even more perfect. This is truly a website where I have no need to create a full fledged account with stockpiles of my info. I just need my login mapped to my feeds and we’re good to go:

I’m glad to see OpenID starting to be used in some sites that I actually use, since they’ve actually been pretty sparse up til now. Hopefully that trend continues. So do you regularly use any OpenID sites or have you seen any other cool OpenID enabled sites out there?
