Salesforce as an Open ID provider
It would be great if Salesforce became an Open ID provider and followed the lead of AOL, Wordpress.com, etc. allowing an ID that people already have to act as an Open ID.
I'd like to suggest that Salesforce implement this, not a partner. Also, it should not be an extra fee, and should be included in every edition of Salesforce, including Developer Edition.
The benefit to Salesforce in doing this is a) media publicity and b) lots of new people will sign up for Salesforce accounts (even just DE accounts) and be exposed to the entire Force.com platform. Many of these people will probably take that new found knowledge to work and see it as an Opportunity to use Salesforce as an authentication system within their business.
Authentication on the web is becoming more and more important for people's security and convenience and I think Salesforce is in a great position to be a part of that.
