This technology certainly represents the future of online authentication, as identity silos disappear in favor of data and identity portability. JanRain has a solution called RPX that is similar to Facebook Connect in that users can login to a relying party site using their Facebook account and post content back to their news feed. But RPX also lets users login to sites using their Google, Yahoo, MySpace, AOL or Windows LiveID accounts. Pretty cool. More login choices = more registered users. Interesting article, Jordan.
