Ryan, you've single-handedly turned every gmail account into an OpenID!

Good work :)

Lets see how long it takes for people to pick up on that :)

ryan, think it’s okay if websites start putting a little Google helper button next to their openid_url inputs that point to your OpenID provider app?

hmm…sorry, but no, i don’t think so. it’s just a sample app for App Engine; it’s definitely not a full-fledged, official Google product.

I am trying to create a service to allow registered voters to participate in legislature through the internet. I am using GovTrack.us's work to track legislation and keep voters up to date, but I would like to enable registered voters to create, support, and influence their legislator's ultimate decisions. In order to do this, I need confidence that each user is in fact the registered voter they claim to be. I have a solution to do this on a local level, but I would like to do this nationally. If you have any ideas, please let me know. My email is on my website.
Thanks.

Yeah, the redirect after successful auth doesn’t work for any of the sites I tried
