This feels to me like OpenID finally coming of age - the OpenID+OAuth hybrid protocol means you can one-click sign in to a site and simultaneously grant it access to an OAuth protected resource such as your address book. From what I've heard it usability tests extremely well too.

We've been using it for trendly.com and yes, it seems very usable. I didn't know about the popup option, though, I'll have to try that.
