OpenID

I signed up for an OpenID account.

"OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity."

It is supposed to mean that you don't have to register on web-sites that are OpenId enabled. You register with your OpenID account and it lets you share just the details you want to, you can set up different personas (personae?). You can use your own name, or your own URL as your OpenID.

There is more information on OpenIDEnabled, and a list of enabled sites at myOpenID.
