Enough of those old days of creating different login account for each website, where you want to create an account.
These days, many of the website uses the openID as their login system and uses GRavatar (Globally Recognized Avatar) for your profile.
One of the website that uses both the open ID and GRavatar is stackoverflow
So, on your next website, if your login system is simpler, used only for login authentication and if you don't have any role based data acess, you can use openID and GRavatar instead of creating your own user account management.

Gartner's Top 10 Strategic Technologies for IT in 2008
Gartner analysts presented their firm's list of the “Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2008” at the recent Gartner Symposium/ITxpo. Gartner "is urging IT executives to think about the risk of not implementing each one." The technologies are as follows: green IT; unified communications; Business Process Management; metadata management; "Virtualization 2.0" (which "simplifies the installation and movement of applications, makes it easy to move work from one machine to another, and allows changes to be made without impacting other IT systems"); mashups; Web platforms and Web-oriented-architecture ("a version of SOA geared toward Web applications"); computing fabrics (server designs that will "allow several blades to be merged across a 'computing fabric,' in which they will appear as a single server to an operating system"); the "real world Web" (which will "augment reality with universal access to information specific to locations, objects or people"); and social software (blogs, wikis, etc.).

Internet Over Power
Internet Over Power Lines
In Bangalore it is hard to get the broadband connections because of the limited infrastructure of cable and telephone lines. For instance, Airtel does not provide broadband to any residence, even in major cities like Bangalore. They do a feasibility study and reject the application if there is only one application on that street. They are not ready to bring the telephone line for one person. I applied twice in the period of 1 year and didn’t get the connection and recently went for the BSNL DataONE broadband connection. Good to see that BSNL has telephone lines everywhere.
Enough of all these restrictions due to the limited infrastructure of telephone lines and cables. Thanks to the innovations, now we can get the broadband connections if you have the electricity line :-) Every house has an electricity connection, so anyone can go for broadband connection.
Check out the News:
“In Spain and elsewhere in Europe, utility companies have long offered high-speed Internet service to consumers over their power lines. But American utilities are only now beginning to roll out broadband connections on their grid. Known as broadband over power lines, or B.P.L., the service is poised to challenge the cable and phone companies that dominate the high-speed Internet market. Instead of burying cables and rewiring homes, B.P.L. providers use the local power grid, which means that any home with electricity could get the service. While the technology is not new, the home adapters and equipment on telephone poles that transmit data over power lines as radio signals have only recently become affordable enough for companies to start selling the service.
