You cannot login using OpenID to most interesting popular sites. GMail? No. Twitter? No. Facebook? FriendFeed? identi.ca? No, no, no. I'd be surprised if you ever saw the big social networking sites support OpenID or Persona. They want to own that space themselves, so probably have no business incentive to support 3rd party systems.

Not that it changes this statement at all but you wouldn't expect to see a Persona login for gmail as persona solves the problem that people don't think of urls as personal identifiers by replacing it with emails. So Gmail would be the Persona IdP

We're open source, and I think it benefits our mission to support open, decentralized, and free systems like OpenID and Persona. -Barry
