User Authentication - OpenID and Facebook
I'm still looking at the different options for tinyid to handle registration and authentication of users. My recent change added logging in using your Facebook account using Facebook Connect. Another option I'm considering is OpenID.
There's a good blog post comparing the Facebook vs the OpenID stack. The same weblog has a post on using OpenID in a popup without leaving the page, similar to how Facebook Connect does its magic. You can see a demo of this concept in action.
