&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://ma.tt/2008/04/openid-and-spam/"&gt;OpenID and Spam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Matt Mullenweg: “OpenID has a ton of promise for the web—let’s not hurt it by setting people up for disappointment by telling them it’s a spam blocker when it’s not.” True for the case of general registration, but I still believe whitelisting known OpenIDs could be a powerful tool for fighting spam on personal sites.
