The multiple logins problem is exactly one of the problems sxore solves. You only have one password for all the blogs that use sxore. You only have to login once at the beginning of your browsing session and then you can leave comments on any sxore-enabled blog. You also don’t have to type in your name, your email, and your blog URL everytime you want to leave a comment.

I have tried it. I work there!
Seriously though, please give it a try and let me know what you think. We launched the beta just in the last two weeks.
It provides identity for comments, which prevents spam and helps you know who’s commenting on your blog. It has a follow feed which helps you keep track of what comments come after your comment in a thread. It helps blog owners reduce their moderation load because you can whitelist and blacklist commenters.

Many people are skeptical of new requirements with more logins to remember (unless you remember them by having them all be the same). I doubt this will take off. I have having to login to leave comments, just ask for my info, I’ll give it, but don’t make me login to a central location for a select few blogs.

Well, I remember a nice dinner with Marc Canter in Amsterdam a couple of years ago when he was ranting for sxip and their distributed identity system. Now I see it again emerging from the blogosphere. In the meanwhile, I see typekey had some success but very limited to their own sphere of influence (typepad/MT, maybe LJ too? I don’t use it).

Funny enough, the most successful “reputation system” nowadays seems to be gravatar: simple, “hacky”, not rigorous at all (ok it hasn’t anything to do with blocking spam though).
