Yahoo's OpenID support is now live. If you use Yahoo's email, portal page or any other service, just log in to Yahoo's new OpenID page and fill out some additional information. After that you'll be able to log into any website that supports OpenID. So far, that includes some big players, like Technorati, Magnolia and Blogger. Unfortunately, it's a one-way implementation; if you're already using Open ID, you can't just login to Yahoo. But this should drive adoption, significantly.

That's live in the main SERP's now.

NetScape is finally dead. As of last Friday, the first commercial web browser's demise is official, and it will no longer be updated or supported. Even though Netscape may be a thing of the past, it has passed on its legacy to FireFox and Mozilla, which both share code used in the last version of Netscape. Internet Explorer, bundled with Windows -- for free -- finally killed Netscape. Yet another example of how moving the Free Line is good for business -- and bad for competitors.
