An anonymous reader writes "Right on the heels of Microsoft's adoption of the OpenID protocol by announcing their intention to enable OpenID authentication against all Live IDs, Google has announced their intention to join the growing list of OpenID authentication providers. Except it turns out they're using their own version of OpenID that is incompatible with everyone else. It seems that Google will be using their own "improved" version of OpenID based upon research and user feedback of the OpenID system; which isn't backwards compatible with OpenID 1.0/2.0 in hopes of improving end-user experience at the cost of protocol compatibility and complexity."
