This sounds like it could be a great solution to the password problem people had in the course:

About ClaimID
"We provide you with an OpenID which you can use to log into thousands of sites such as Livejournal, Ma.gnolia and Technorati - without ever having to create a new account or remember another password."
I am probably naive, but I'm less excited about feature # 2
"On your claimID page, you can create a profile of all the sites that comprise your identity. We even provide you with a simple and easy way to "claim" those pages - allowing you to easily prove ownership of things like your blog or Last.fm profile."
I think the credentials of the product are good, though: it was created by two doctoral students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science -- but of course I am biased...
