Google OpenID

There was talk about Google working with openID but no one I knew knew how to use it so after a little research and a fair bit of testing I found this http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html It tales about how to setup Google login for your site. It recommends that you implement a special login with Google button but it gives a nice URL of https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id.

Now thats all and good but I found it a little hard to remember so. I created a tiny URL. Now all you have to rememeber id googid and you can login to any OpenID site.

I will be implementing this on Tuesday let people use Google accounts on our site.
