    Just noting, applications don’t join the OpenID Foundation, companies and individuals do. Google has been a member of the foundation for a year and half or so I believe. Also, membership in the foundation doesn’t mean anything with regards to supporting OpenID in applications. For example, PayPal is a member of the foundation and has a seat on the board, but they do not have OpenID in any of their applications right now.
