Quick bit of LJ and Open ID news

Apparently now whenever someone uses Open ID to post a comment, there is an LJ ID assigned to them. It is actually possible to add the person using Open ID to your f-list so if you have friends who use other means for blogging and have the Open ID option, I think they can still subscribe to f-locked posts without having to get an LJ account! I'm not sure if that's actually the case or not, but I still think it's cool I can add Open ID users to my f-list.

If you look at my f-list on my profile, you'll see sweetdaisy.blogspot.com (she was my best friend in grade school... was heartbroken when she moved away). Her LJ ID came up as ext_87965 when I received a comment notification in the mail, so you can see how I was able to add her to my f-list.

Seriously, how cool is that?

Now, Rob... when you leave a comment here, use your Blogger ID! :)

That's cool! Once upon a time I'd have loved it, but I keep everything locked to my flist these days. Once bitten, twice shy and all that.

I've considered locking my LJ but there are some friends who just won't make that jump to LJ and I don't want them to miss out on Sophie pictures and videos. if I lock it down, I'm going to lock down the whole thing. I think this is (possibly, if it works the way I think it will) a great option for those who at least have a blogger account (and with gmail being so popular, most do without even realizing it). I just am not so sure if it works that way.

I can understand that.

I ended up changing username because of a fall out with a RL friend who left anonymous comments on my old LJ though, so I'm awfully wary.

And at least these days, my friends are much nicer people to be around.

Thankfully I haven't come up against any drama. :(
