Just checked it out, it's more like link shortening.
Even link shortening with custom strings wont suffice, if ownership is based on first-come-first-serve rather than openid/oauth.
eg: anyone can attempt to claim johndoe, but only the real johndoe will be authenticated for johndoe.myopenid.com, thus completing the authentication & claiming it for real.
