Currenlty LiveJournal supports OpenID and in the near future DeadJournal, Movable Type, WordPress, MediaWiki, Bugzilla, TypePad, TypeKey, b2, TextPattern, perl.org, and a bunch of other sites will support OpenID authentication.<br /><br /><br />In this update we have also added Tags.<br /><br />What are tags?<br /><br /> -- Tags let you organize your entries into categories so that you and your friends can quickly find related entries in your journal.<br /> -- For example you make an entry about what you did in math class today, you could tag the entry school and math and then anyone who goes to your journal can easily find any posts you make about school or just math.
