Ugh. Every large internet company tries to become the world's identity provider at some point. It's like you're not considered part of cool kids until you do.
Microsoft tried it years ago with Passport. Google has their proprietary one. Now it's Facebook's turn, apparently. At least Yahoo and AOL use OpenID, even if they are only providers and not consumers.
This will not be a fatal blow any more than Microsoft Passport or Google Account Authentication were.
