I actually like Blogger's, because it's the best thing I've seen so far for OpenID-ness. I'm just not sure it's sustainable, because it's not provider-agnostic and will inevitably favor some services over others; LiveJournal has an icon on the list and (IIRC) if I comment with LiveJournal I get an LJ favicon, but with Dreamwidth I just get an OpenID one. And I have to know ahead of time that Dreamwidth is "an OpenID provider."
Whereas if Blogger used the system that I described in the comments below, I'd just list my Dreamwidth journal as my home website, and then it'd authenticate it using OpenID and would let me know that it'd done so. I'd feel rewarded for having chosen Dreamwidth as my online home, and this "OpenID" thing that it'd just introduced me to would strike me as kinda cool. Because I'd know exactly what it had done, and I'd like that it'd done it.
