Everybody announces their use of OpenID... Nobody actually uses OpenID

Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL are all officially supporting OpenID. Even Google announced they were using something similar and calling it OpenID. Thats great! now OpenID is worthless. I have been a proponent for OpenID for the longest time, every single one of my projects that have never seen the light of day has been planned with OpenID from day one. Everytime I try and log into a website the first thing I look for is OpenID because quite frankly I love being able to control my information and who gets what. Here is the problem that we are faced with then, everybody wants to control OpenID but the whole point of it is de-regulation. Nobody should control the information, nobody other than the user. The user decides who owns the information and the other services only need to know if the user is who he/she says he/she is, not know everything about the user. This is the failure of all of these companies, and in the end the failure of the OpenID Foundation. It just seems that the foundation has been too eager to get these companies to support OpenID but not strict enough to enforce that if they do not allow users to associate OpenIDs with their accounts they can't use the OpenID name. This may be some kind of plan to get the name OpenID out there and then round them up to ask for compliance to the part where you can use other's IDs on their sites. This is really sad I now have an OpenID from Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo! and (kind of) Google... but I cant actually use it with any of their services because they only allow for their own IDs to be used with them. What is the point of this then? The OpenID Foundation needs to step up if theyre going to take control of this standard. I really hope they do. Oh and chi.mp you better get your act together on OpenID aswell!
