Facebook totally opens to OpenID

Facebook totally opens to OpenID, originally uploaded by dccrowley.

Facebook has totally opened to OpenID. You can now log into Facebook with any OpenID account. This makes Facebooks implementation way better than any other of the big players. Try logging into Google with your Facebook username and password. It won't work! Google accepts only it's own OpenID. Something which totally defeats the purpose of having OpenID anyway.

Anyway You can't just log into Facebook straight away. First go to settings (in the menu on the top right) and select linked accounts. Fill in your OpenID details and you are ready for action.

Facebook has wide implementation to many blogs and webservices... but not all of them, not yet anyway. So it's a huge step in the right direction. It means you can now use Facebook/ OpenID to log into Brightkite for instance or to post a comment to RWW (Read Write Web) or Techcrunch.
