If your hosting provider goes south, you can be up and running somewhere else (assuming you've backed everything up) in as long as it takes to for your new name server info to propagate. If you use your own domain as your OpenID, you are not held to the whims of whatever OpenID provider you are using. Let's say MyOpenID closed up shop tomorrow, as unlikely as that is. You immediately start using WordPress (or MyVidoop, or LiveJournal, or Bloglines, etc.) as your OpenID provider and all it takes is a change of 2 lines in your own HTML. You don't have to go to all the sites that you've been using your OpenID URL as the login and change your access information. You're also more likely to remember your domain compared to username.providerdomain.com. @What, it’s like when you register your own domain.

On the back of an idea from tech writer Wayne Smallman, we came up with <a href="http://www.sciencetext.com/building-metaid-openid-with-bells-on.html" rel="nofollow">metaID</a>, which would provide users with a single ID for all social networks, bookmarking sites etc, but pull in their profiles not just their ID when you sign up with a new network. We reckon XML will be the key to making this work, anyone care to chip in with ideas? http://www.sciencetext.com/building-metaid-openid-with-bells-on.html db I reckon OpenID could be taken one step further.
