We have had quite a few people approach us and ask about doing a Zooomr deal. For months now, new accounts on Zooomr have been created over on our OpenID server. Other sites have come to us wanting a way to support OpenID’s but they don’t want to host an OpenID server. When we originally worked with Zooomr to host their OpenID’s it was a one-off thing. Well, no longer.

I am excited to announce the launch of our Affliate Program aimed at sites that want to use OpenID but don’t want to have to manage an OpenID server or their users’ identities. Now with just a few clicks of your mouse you can have a place for your users to get OpenID’s. In addition, sites will get added to our ever-growing directory of sites that support OpenID. There are hundreds of sites that support OpenID today and that number is growing everyday.

By hosting identities for end-users we’re hoping that sites that support OpenID can focus on their “main thing”; blogging, photo sharing, wiki’s, etc. OpenID lowers the barrier to engagement for users and increases stickiness on sites; no more forgotten usernames or passwords. If you’re a developer and interested in OpenID enabling your site, head over to our sister site www.openidenabled.com and learn more about the open source libraries, patches and tools available for making that happen.

If you’re interested, by all means head over to the Affiliate Program Signup and get started today! If you have questions/comments/ideas, feel free to let us know.
