Could you provide a links for this claim (preferably from Yahoo or the
other big consumers themselves)?  I'm happy to believe you myself, but
it would be good for me to have these links handy to point people to if
they ask.  I can't find any reference to it in a bit of web searching.

With a quick scan of the yahoo web site, i don't even see a place to
sign in via OpenID, just two buttons to sign in via Facebook and Google
(which may or may not use OpenID on the backend, i haven't checked).  Is
this what you mean?

How frustrating,
