As part of our ongoing effort to make myID.net user-friendly and user-accessible, we’ve come up with few brilliant ideas and features that’ll greatly help you in use of myID.net The first one of them is Bookmarklets.

As you know bookmarklets are small browser functions that allow you to bookmark pages or features. With myID bookmarklets, we essentially provide two functions.

First one is for bookmarking all your friends OpenID’s. It’s quite difficult and tedious to write them all down to manage them. With myID bookmarklets, you can simply drag and drop the contact list button into your browser. And then you can press the button to add your friends' OpenID’s into your own contact list every time you see it. It's just like how you bookmark pages on del.icio.us. The second bookmarklet allows your browser to auto-complete your own OpenID when you sign in to services just by clicking on the bookmarklet, saving much of time and effort. 

Both bookmarklets are browser-dependent, but still very easy to deploy. You can find out more details on how to use them on the tools & tips page.

Here's the screencast of how to use bookmarklets. Look how easy bookmarklets are to use!

Yes, we’re not more a mere OpenID provider service. We also go into the ID consumer side as well. It’s pretty simple. We create services that are valuable to every day users and customers. We’re all about people and bringing values to them. Bookmarklets are only snippets of what we want to do. In the next post, we’ll explain one of our most convenient features in contact list import features.
