Social networking website MySpace has joined the OpenID alliance, which will allow MySpace users to access other websites using their unique MySpace OpenID.

Like NetIDme, MySpace is currently termed as an OpenID ‘provider’, which means that users from other websites won’t be able to access MySpace using another OpenID login. However, MySpace may join as an OpenID ‘consumer’ in the future. This would allow web users who have an OpenID from another source, such as NetIDme, to login to Myspace using their OpenID credentials, rather than their Myspace username and password.
