Lately, single sign-on feature is being adopted slowly and steadily. Organizations like open id (http://openid.net/) and RPX (https://rpxnow.com/) are leading the intiative. Using thier api, developers can implement single-sign on features into thier websites. For example, in the site i am developing right now (www.ayushmenon.com/cms/index.php/blog) it requires a user to login in order to comment on the blog. But he/she does not have to register on the website. Instead he/she can login using any of his/her gmail/yahoo/facebook id. All other info which I want to collect from the person who comments, is provided by the provider of the id (gmail, yahoo etc). But all this is transparent to the commentor. I do agree with you.
