I think Persona is just too new to see it around much yet. Or maybe Mozilla needs better PR.

The Persona site touts: "Signing in using Persona requires only a valid email address; allowing you to provide personal information on as-needed basis, when and where you think it’s appropriate."

They clearly need a better example site. They chose something called Voost. Sure enough, all I needed to enter was my Gmail address. That got me signed in, but then Voost asked me for a bunch of other personal information (name, gender, birthdate, etc), and wouldn't let me go any farther without that. :-/
