# RWW Live: OpenID

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20090417034045im_/http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/openidnetlogo.jpg) In [the second RWW Live of 2009](https://web.archive.org/web/20090417034045/https://apps.calliflower.com/conf/show/44514), we go in-depth about a web standard that made big strides in 2008 and is being increasingly adopted by Internet companies big and small: **OpenID**. At the end of December, [the OpenID Foundation announced its new Board](https://web.archive.org/web/20090417034045/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/openid_foundation_board_election_results_2008.php) – and we have several of those board members on the RWW Live podcast show today.
