The browserid.org site doesn't really tell you what it is, only how to implement it (I didn't watch the video) and I had to dig hard to find a description of what it actually is. It is explained in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Identity/VerifiedEmailProtocol and at https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozillaID/Spec it says there is a javascript fallback implementation for existing browsers. It seems reasonable enough. It would seem most compelling for mobile devices where the sign-in process is rather painful at present, but that requires built in support on those browsers. Without built in support by browsers it's not terribly compelling as it doesn't give you anything over openid, and many users already have openid accounts.
