I was picturing something more along the lines of a list of
your friends
on your social network, each one with an openID, you'd then
want to copy
and paste that to search for the same friend on the other
social
network. No one needs to know it's actually a url, not least
the user.
Both social networks have already verified their members via
openID and
are just using that string in their member db.
