OpenID isn't "done" yet. There very much is a market for 3rd party identification and I think that people will really want some level of neutrality from their identification provider.

Unfortunately, it seems that facebook is filling that market-- albeit without the neutrality. I don't like that. It just feels "icky" when I sign-on anywhere other than facebook using my facebook identity. I might NOT want my facebook picture to be seen on the sidebar of random websites by my friends. I don't particularly feel good about facebook monetizing my preferences even if it is done in an anonymous statistical fashion. Nor do I like that sometimes I have to worry about what exactly facebook is going to broadcast about me to the rest of the world or to my friends.

This might be nothing deeper than a superficial perception, but I simply don't trust facebook with my identity as much as I do OpenID participants.
