It appears that Flickr is utilizing Unbound Discoverable URLs to provide OpenID logon using Google Accounts. Unbound Discoverable URLs provide the best UI/UX for the users, in that the users don't have to learn what "OpenID" is. This will enable wider adoption of OpenID. Nobody remembers their OpenID URL, nor should we expect them to. Utilizing Unbound Discoverable URLs, services like Flickr can allow their users to use their existing OpenID accounts without educating them on OpenID.
So far only following OpenID providers utilize Unbound Discoverable URLs:
myopenid yahoo Hyves myspace myid.net google yahoo japan AOL Verisign
Kudos to them, but this list need to grow.
Also, Flickr needs to support all of the above OpenID providers for login.
