I use myopenid.com, but whichever you use, make sure you set up a web
page you own and control (e.g. your homepage) to delegate OpenID
responsibility to an actual OpenID provider. You then use your
homepage URL as your OpenID to login to services. If the actual OpenID
provider goes AWOL, you can easily point the delegation at another
provider.
