um … all the email providers are players in the identity space … Google is an email provider. I have not heard any of the major ISPs looking to add support for BrowserID yet. The identity community burned lots of bridges with RPs (Relying Parties) when the promise of OpenID and/or InfoCards did not deliver. This will make it harder for BrowserID to get adoption in the short term. For many RPs, Facebook / Twitter / Google is good enough. -- Dick -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
