Ironic, really.

I thought OpenID was created so that we can move seamlessly from one website to the next. Then a whole lot of services jumped in on the bandwagon, and suddenly, boom! I now have over half a dozen of OpenID accounts!

So now whenever I log on to a website that asks for my OpenID account, the first thought that comes up on my mind is, “OK, which OpenID should I use now?” And then after I decide, there’s this whole verification things that really take some time.

Really, guys up there on OpenID, there should be a way to claim and integrate all the accounts into one simple and short ID that can be used to log in everything else without having to re-verify everything.

Or did I miss something?
