Awesome!  I would definitely like to use something like this in my apps for
login.

For anyone that hasnt tried it yet, I'd encourage you to give it a go.  You
just need an account with any of:

WebID
Persona
OpenID
Facebook
Twitter
LinkedIn
Google
Windows Live
Wordpress
Yahoo
Tumblr
Disqus
Instragram
Bitly
Foursquare
Dropbox

Then click: http://web.ods.openlinksw.com/~kidehen/bing-snapshot-picasso.png

Do let us know if it works! :)
