"Everyone look, <New, unproven technology> will replace <Popular, proven technology>!"

The problem is it never does actually replace the proven technology. Makes for a good blog post, though.

I think it could. Now with Oauth becoming more and more of a standard for signing up/in to sites and the wide adoption of RESTful API used for messaging, it could work.

Glad you liked the post.

I think I actually see that less than I did a few years ago. OAuth was hard to implement, and not that easy to use, so a lot of people got turned off by it.

I'm curious to see where BrowserID will go.
