Stupid Google Trick 01

So Google is being awesome and stupid at the same time. They have made gmail accounts openids, well sorta. It's just that no one accepts '@gmail.com' as an openid since that's not in the specs.

If you want to actually be able to use your gmail account as an openid go to http://openid-provider.appspot.com/ and follow the instructions there.

Fuck you google, why can't you just provide `http://gmail.com/openid/` for full compatibility with standards.

  1. Forgot to mention the app-engine gmail openid trick will give you an open id like http://openid-provider.appspot.com/USERNAME
