OpenID, my new favorite thing!
I’ve had an OpenID for nearly 2 months now, and I have to say I’m really enjoying the ease and simplicity it offers.
From the OpenID Wikipedia page:
OpenID is a shared identity service, which allows Internet users to log on to many different web sites using a single digital identity, eliminating the need for a [...]
Security vs. Lock-in
I love how Bruce Schneier can make complex security issues so clear and understandable to non-technical folks that don’t have a security background. Security, access to your personal data and privacy of it are VERY important topics currently, but they are very complex to understand.

Landing pages… can yours be better?

The main points he covers are:
Have a Clear and Direct Headline
Place High Value on Whitespace
Deliver Your Value Proposition with Short Direct [...]
