I've been working on adding OpenID support inside Google as a 20% project for a while now. It took some evangelizing, but our first OpenID project, commenting in Blogger, has finally launched!

For the OpenID geeks out there, we've turned Blogger into a consumer, aka relying party. It has full support for 1.0 and 1.1, and partial support for 2.0 draft 12. (It's missing XRI-based discovery.)

OpenID commenting is currently supported in Blogger Draft, ie beta, but we'll roll it out to all users soon. Keep an eye out for future OpenID projects...

We're also working on functionality to let Blogger's URLs (both Blog*Spot and custom domains) be used for commenting elsewhere on the web.
