Now that TC-IMC 2.0 is up, a note about OpenID

Everyone should know that we have added the OpenID technology to Twin Cities Indymedia. OpenID provides an alternative to corporate identity control schemes like Google Accounts or Microsoft's Passport IDs.

Technically, OpenID is a protocol that associates an ID with a URL, and this URL can provide reliable authentication. (this means that linuxguy.openid.net means the same person, across the whole Internet).

To add an OpenID URL to your account, go to your user preferences and select the OpenID Identities tab.
